Hydraulics, Coastal Engineering, Water Resources

The Hydraulics, Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering Graduate Program offers degrees in the general areas of hydraulic engineering including computational hydraulics and coastal engineering; engineering hydrology including surface and groundwater; and environmental transport processes including sediment and contaminant transport. Graduate programs can be tailored to student’s employment goals through courses available in the Civil, Architectural & Environmental Engineering Department, Engineering Geology, and by other departments on campus. Courses include:

Open Channel Flow
Hydrodynamics I & II
Hydrology
Surface Water Hydrology
Ground Water Environmental Transport Processes
Introduction to Coastal Engineering
Coastal Processes
Coastal Structures
Computational Hydraulics I & II
Free Surface Flows
Mxing Processes
Special Topics (independent study under faculty supervision)

Both Ph.D. and full and part-time M.S. programs are offered. Full time M.S. students are required to write a thesis on an approved research topic. Facilities include a new computational hydraulics lab, a newly renovated hydraulics laboratory with water supply, a recirculating sediment transport flume, a wave flume with programmable wave generator, general-purpose hydraulic experimental equipment and a data acquisition system.
