CEIE 340 - Water Resources Engineering

Undergraduate course (Spring 2013, Fall 2013, Spring 2014,Fall 2014, Spring 2015 and Fall 2015).

Welcome to the engineering of the water world. This class is the starting point to your career in water resources engineering. We will cover all the basic principles of water resources engineering and bring you up to speed to continue on your water resources engineering education. Not a water person? No problem… This class will cover the basic knowledge that every civil engineer should have about water and how it relates to other civil engineering careers.
