CE 497-001 / 597-001 Large Scale Hydrological And Water Resources Modeling Using GIS (Sridhar)

The objectives of this course are to develop necessary skills and knowledge related to the applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in pre- and post-processing of model inputs and outputs, spatial analysis and interpretation. Arc Hydro data model, tools, functionality and examples of real-world water resource problems and integration of external models will be covered. The Exit Survey of CE Majors in 2007 suggested that CE should have more CAD-related courses. This course is directly addresses that concern and provides opportunity for both consulting-oriented CE graduates to develop skills that are needed in today’s consulting industry as well as research-oriented CE and other majors to build spatial data analysis skills.

CE Special Topics Courses (Fall 2008)

CE 597-001 Terrestrial Hydrometeorology (Sridhar)

Hydrometeorology covers principles related to the modeling, observing, and forecasting of processes related to water and energy fluxes and storage terms. This includes the interactions with the boundary layer and lower atmosphere, processes related to radiation, cloud and precipitation formation processes, vegetation-atmosphere interactions that regulate local weather and hydrological balances and the regional climate, land-atmosphere exchanges at different time and space scales, integrated water resource management and human disturbance influencing regional and global climate variability.

CE 497-002 / 597-002 Air Pollution (Miller)

This course surveys the sources, fates, effects and control of air pollutants.  Industrial, agricultural, and municipal contributions to acid rain, smog, and toxic air pollutants in fish and humans are covered.  Students will demonstrate skill in the use of mathematical and computer predictions for the fate of air pollutants in the design of air pollution control systems and be able to communicate engineering concepts in writing and in oral presentations.
