Upon successful completion of the course:

•	Students will understand and correctly apply engineering methods for hydrologic analysis, including specification of design storms from IDF curves, estimation of runoff losses, and unit hydrograph development and application. Students will use these methods to design stormwater control structures.

•	Students will understand and correctly apply engineering methods for surface water hydraulic analysis, including shallow surface flow and flow in open channels. Students will use these methods to design open channels and storm sewers.

•	Finally, students will garner experience in HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS hydrologic and hydraulic models, including using these tools for flood risk analyses and design of flood mitigation measures.

•	Graduate-level students will gain a deeper understanding of hydrologic and hydraulic processes, implications, and broader implementation and practice through a detailed search of classic and contemporary literature on a course-related topic. Students will demonstrate this new knowledge by summarizing their findings in a literature review paper.

All academic work must meet the standards contained in "A 
Culture of Honesty." Students are responsible for informing 
themselves about those standards before performing any academic 
work.
