This course outlines standard methods for the hydraulic design of structures such as levees, breakwaters, stormwater detention basins and flood channels, spillways, bridges, scour protection, wastewater/desalination outfall diffusers, and wave energy converters.¡¡Students will work in small groups to propose solutions to specified design problems. For each project, they will write a technical memo outlining their solution to the problem, and will present their design to the class via a PowerPoint presentation.

This lecture supports students to get benefit from Geographical Information Systems (GIS) tools in water resources engineering. It introduces concepts of spatial coordinate systems, and raster and vector data types. The procedures of surface analysis using Digital Elevation Models (DEM) to the watershed delineation, including river networks are studied. In addition, the preparation of thematic data is introduced. Actually, this includes the sources of GIS input data from advanced on-site observations, Global Positioning System (GPS) and remote sensors. Then, different applications in ecological assessment of rivers, water supply and water management are reviewed. By the end of the lecture, a final project should be submitted by students applying GIS to address a specific topic of interest. Hands-on learning followed by theory introduction is expected.

In main stream theory of development, development measured by "economic growth" was the main theme. The meaning of ¡Èdevelopment¡É in the context of international development had evolved during the past 30 years. From the lessons of 1980s, particularly represented by failures and mistakes in development field in Africa and Asia, "sustainable development" has become underlying concept to plan, implement and evaluate the development practices. In 1990, United Nations Development Program (UNDP) produced Human Development Indicators and gained world attention. This is to measure "development" from various aspects centering "human". In this context, recent development projects require more integration of different fields, such as education, health, industry, economy, engineering, law and others. Given this background, it is increasingly important that young engineers must understand and be able to design sustainable development projects/programs to overcome precedent problems in development. These approaches often require the participants to create effective working relationships with practitioners in other field, governments, and organizations.
