CE 355 Engineering Hydrology Overview

CE 355 Engineering Hydrology is a 3 credit course with 2 hours of teaching and 2 hours of practical work per week. The course aims to teach students how to apply hydrologic analyses to engineering designs and perform quantitative analyses of meteorological and environmental data related to evapotranspiration, precipitation, streamflow, runoff, and groundwater. Students will learn key hydrological concepts and processes through introduction, activities, and recommended readings. Course evaluation is based on coursework (30%) and examination (70%).
