CE 3372 Water Systems Design

Catalog Description

3372. Water Systems Design (3:3:0). Prerequesites: CE 3305, 3354. Hydraulic analysis and design of municipal water distribution, stormwater collection, and wastewater collection systems. Oral and written presentations. (Communications Intensive)

The course reviews theory and application of hydraulics, demonstrates the use of predictive tools such as charts and computer programs, and apply these tools to the analysis and design of distribution and collection and pumping systems. Preparation of reports and designs and presentations are additional components of this course.
1. Read, synthesize, and communicate ideas presented in current and historical technical literature.
2. Perform flow and transport computation in simplistic topologies using Excel, or R as needed.
3. Perform flow and transport computation in realistic geometries using EPA-NET or similar professional tools for water distribution systems.
4. Perform flow and transport computation in realistic geometries using SWMM 5.0 or similar professional tools for stormwater and wastewater collection systems.
5. Size and select engineering materials (pipes, pumps, valves, etc.) for use in drinking water (water distribution), stormwater , and wastewater systems.
6. Prepare preliminary engineering design reports for a drinking water distribution system, a stormwater collection system, and a wastewater collection system.

This junior level course requires sucessful completion of CE 3305 (fluid mechanics) or equivalent, CE 3354 (engineering hydrology) or equivalent. Students will synthesize and apply computing skills from ENGR 1315 or ENGR 1330 and EGR 1207.

On-line compute environments are provided for this course which are accessed through the navigation bar links. WCOE has adopted JupyterLab as a preferred computing environment within ENGR 1330, in the spirit of downstream application of Computational Thinking/Data Science components of this course are being transitioned to that environment. A shared JupyterLab computing environment (Python and R enabled) is also provided through a navigation bar link.

Network simulations will be conducted using EPANET 2.2 and SWMM 5.0 which are available for free from the US EPA website, or you can use the EPANET in a Box and SWMM in a Box shared environments.
