CWR 3201   Water Resource Engineering

College of Sci and Engineering, Department of Civil Engineer & Construct Mgt

3 sh (may not be repeated for credit)
Prerequisite: EML 3016

The course introduces the hydrological processes and their relationship to the design of structures for control and management of water resources, rainfall-runoff relationships, and probability and frequency analysis as they relate to surface and groundwater hydrology.

CWR 3201L   Water Resource Engineering Lab

College of Sci and Engineering, Department of Civil Engineer & Construct Mgt

1 sh (may not be repeated for credit)
Prerequisite: CWR 3201*

This laboratory course reinforces the principles of fluid mechanics as they apply to hydraulic and pneumatic power, and fluid flow. Developing experimental data into effective laboratory reports is emphasized.

CWR 4202   Hydraulic Engineering Design

College of Sci and Engineering, Department of Civil Engineer & Construct Mgt

3 sh (may not be repeated for credit)
Prerequisite: CWR 3201

The course includes the fundamentals of fluid mechanics to the design and analysis of hydraulic systems. The course emphasizes open channel flow and addresses topics of interest to the Civil Engineer. Topics include hydraulic grade line calculations, pump design, culvert analysis and design, based flood elevation studies using HEC-RAS, non-uniform flow, gutters and inlets, water distribution, and open channel design.

CWR 4536   Watershed Modeling

College of Sci and Engineering, Department of Civil Engineer & Construct Mgt

3 sh (may not be repeated for credit)
Prerequisite: CWR 3201

This course discusses fundamental concepts in hydrologic modeling, moving from conceptual understanding of watershed system behavior to the development, application, and evaluation of simulation models. Students will examine the fundamental processes of the hydrologic cycle—precipitation, infiltration, evapotranspiration, runoff, baseflow, and snowmelt—and how these processes are represented in models. The course emphasizes model building, testing, and performance evaluation using a watershed modeling tool. Through case studies and hands-on applications, students will gain practical experience in applying models to real-world water resources challenges, with an emphasis on model interpretation, uncertainty, and decision-making support.
