Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

This course is intended to:
- introduce the basis of computational hydraulic modelling;
- introduce the practical application of computational hydraulic models;
- provide an introduction to hydrological modelling;
- lay the foundations of understanding in process hydrology;
- familiarise students with models in common use in engineering design;
- provide the depth of understanding required for professional application of these models;
- engender an enquiring approach to problem solving that encourages investigation of alternative solutions and system sensitivities.
