講義概要

This course outlines standard methods for the hydraulic design of structures such as levees, breakwaters, stormwater detention basins and flood channels, spillways, bridges, scour protection, wastewater/desalination outfall diffusers, and wave energy converters.　Students will work in small groups to propose solutions to specified design problems. For each project, they will write a technical memo outlining their solution to the problem, and will present their design to the class via a PowerPoint presentation.

講義の目的

Advanced topics in civil engineering are given by a visiting professor in English

Hydraulic and Coastal Engineers have four main responsibilities:
1. Protection of human lives and property from disasters.
2. Design of facilities that promote industry, commerce, transportation, and recreation.
3. Preservation and restoration of the environment.
4. Educating policymakers and the public about the need for infrastructure.

This course outlines standard methods for the hydraulic design of structures such as levees, breakwaters, stormwater detention basins and flood channels, spillways, bridges, scour protection, wastewater/desalination outfall diffusers, and wave energy converters.　Students will work in small groups to propose solutions to specified design problems. For each project, they will write a technical memo outlining their solution to the problem, and will present their design to the class via a PowerPoint presentation.
