Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
The student should be aware of the basic principles of Open channel hydraulics which are usually included in a main compulsory course like a Hydrulics course. Also, he/she should be able to use PCs and software, especially office suites like text writers and spreadsheets.
Learning Outcomes
After the succefull completion of the course the students will be able to (1) design open channels, culverts (2) study of natural streams and determine water and solid discharge (3) determine channel conveyance (4) determine the effects of bridges on the flow in streams and rivers (5) design river training and flood protection works (5) apply computer codes for flow computations in streams and rivers
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
  • Make decisions
  • Work autonomously
  • Design and manage projects
  • Respect natural environment
  • Advance free, creative and causative thinking
