Course Details
• Soil Mechanics: Understanding the properties and behavior of soil as a material in civil engineering projects is crucial. This unit will cover topics such as soil classification, shear strength, compressibility, and permeability.
• Groundwater Hydrology: This unit will focus on the occurrence, movement, and distribution of groundwater. Students will learn about groundwater flow equations, aquifer tests, and groundwater modeling.
• Soil and Water Contamination: In this unit, students will learn about the sources, transport, and fate of contaminants in soil and water. Topics will include remediation methods and regulatory frameworks.
• Geotechnical Engineering: This unit will cover the application of soil mechanics principles to engineering practice. Topics will include foundation design, slope stability, and retaining structures.
• Hydraulic Engineering: Students will learn about the principles of fluid mechanics and how they apply to the design of hydraulic structures such as pipes, channels, and dams.
• Water Resource Engineering: This unit will cover the management of water resources, including the planning, design, and operation of water supply and distribution systems, as well as wastewater collection and treatment.
• Coastal Engineering: In this unit, students will learn about the design of coastal structures such as seawalls, breakwaters, and jetties, as well as the impact of sea level rise and climate change on coastal communities.
• River Engineering: This unit will cover the design and management of river channels, including the analysis of river flow, sediment transport, and bank erosion.
• Environmental Fluid Mechanics: This unit will focus on the interaction between fluids and the environment, including topics such as pollutant transport, sedimentation, and fluid-structure interaction.
