This distance education course will be offered online (asynchronous) for convenience. Instructor Tyler Smith, Associate Professor, Civil & Environmental Engineering [email protected] Topics to be covered • Fundamentals of fluid mechanics (review). • Pressurized conduit flow (head loss, pipelines, branching pipelines, pipe networks). • Hydraulic machinery (pumps, turbines). • Open channel flow (uniform, critical, gradually varied and rapidly varied flows; channel design). • Hydraulic structures (weirs, flumes, gates). • Engineering hydrology (water resources probability and statistics, hydrologic cycle, precipitation- and runoff-based design). • Groundwater hydrology (principles, steady- state well hydraulics). Prerequisites Fluid Mechanics (ES330) or instructor consent This is a required course for the civil engineering and environmental engineering degree programs and can be applied to the engineering science minor degree program. Explore the fundamental concepts of water resources engineering and their application toward designing a sustainable future. This course will teach students to apply fundamental concepts of fluid mechanics toward designing systems to control the quantity, timing and distribution of water to meet human and environmental needs. Water resource systems include domestic, commercial and industrial water supply, wastewater treatment, irrigation, drainage, flood control, salinity control, sediment control, pollution abatement and hydropower-generation systems. Implications of engineering decisions and their feasibility from ethical, financial, political and social viewpoints will also be discussed. Questions?
