Integrated Project in Hydraulic Engineering

Course Description:

To enable students to develop the skills required by civil engineering professionals in planning, designing, constructing and reporting integrated design of civil works related to water resources management. Projects will be conducted within a team that will consist of five students and will be supervised by a faculty member. The project subject will be selected by each team from a list of potential subjects that will be proposed by the faculty of the Department of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering. Project work will be coordinated and supervised through regular weekly meetings with faculty members that will review progress and guide the teams in the projects. Project work will include the design of all civil works either through computer simulations or desktop calculations, civil engineering drawings, all required calculations and technical report.

  • Semester 9
  • Teaching hours 3
