Courses
• C&EE 151: Water Resources Engineering
Principles of hydraulics, the flow of water in open channels and
pressure conduits, reservoirs, and dams, hydraulic machines,
hydroelectric power. Introduction to system analysis and design applied
to Water Resources Engineering.
• C&EE 157L: Hydrologic Analysis and
Design
Collection, compilation, and interpretation of data for quantification
of the components of the hydrologic cycle, including precipitation,
evaporation, infiltration, and runoff. Use of hydrologic variables and
parameters for development, construction, and application of analytical
models for selected problems in hydrology and water resources.
•
C&EE157M: Hydrology of Mountain Watersheds
Advanced field-based course in the Sierra Mountains focusing on the
study of catchment processes in snow-dominated and mountainous regions.
Students measure and quantify snowpack properties, watershed fluxes,
investigate
geochemical properties of surface and groundwater systems and classify
mountain streams and flooding potential. Five-day field trip to Sagehen
Creek field station required.
• C&EE
250A: Surface Water Hydrology
In-depth study of surface water hydrology, including discussion and
interrelationship of major topics such as rainfall and evaporation,
soils and infiltration properties, runoff and snowmelt processes.
Introduction to rainfall-runoff modeling, floods, and policy issues
involved in water resource engineering and management.
