Provides a practical introduction to investigation and design techniques in water engineering. The emphasis is on a realistic problem requiring investigation of several options in a multi-objective context and conceptual design. The problem is set by a practicing engineer.

Objectives The course provides the capstone experience for the water engineering strand of the civil engineering program:

1. To develop basic investigation and conceptual design skills in a multi-objective, multi-option problem framework.

2. To apply research and design skills acquired in earlier courses to solve design problems.

3. To work as part of a design team.

4. To be able to communicate and interact at a professional level.
Content Investigation of a range of water engineering options in a multi-objective context; hydrologic analysis; conceptual hydraulic/water resources design.
