Prerequisites: CE 372 and CE 376.
Course
objectives/goals:
1. to give basic concepts of water resources engineering,
2. to give information about Turkish codes and practices,
3. to enable students to use basic information in design applications.
Justification
of the proposal: This course is one of the must courses in the fourth year of the Civil
Engineering curriculum. Slight changes are proposed in the current course
content such that the topics given in the course will follow sequential path
and covers necessary information that is of importance to a senior civil
engineering student.
Name
of the faculty member submitting the proposal: Prof.Dr.Melih
Yanmaz
Relationship
with other undergraduate and graduate courses: This course is the
continuation of the previous hydraulics-hydrology oriented courses in the department. Therefore, there is no
overlapping with
other undergraduate
and graduate courses.
