ENGR 470 – Water Resources Engineering I (3 credits) (Prereq: ENGR 370, or permission of the instructor) This course is designed to review the fundamentals and practices of water resources engineering with a focus on essential processes such as precipitation and runoff. Students explore water resources engineering processes in the theoretical, and applied realm in the fields of closed conduit (pipe) flow, open channel flow, surface water hydrology, water quality analyses, and groundwater flow. Offered as needed.

Justification For Request

What research has led to this request?

Each engineering science student must choose a concentration, which consists of four courses, typically upper level. Currently, the engineering science program only offers a single concentration: the physics concentration. Surveys of freshmen engineering majors have revealed that civil engineering is a discipline that many students are interested in pursuing. Therefore, the department wishes to add a civil concentration as a new concentration option. This course will serve as one of the four courses in the civil concentration.

What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?

This course, along with 3 other courses, ENGR 265, ENGR 365, and ENGR 370, will make up the new civil concentration for the engineering science program.

What financial costs are associated with this request?

This course will be taught by a faculty member and will count toward their normal teaching load. There will be no additional costs.

If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?
