Applied Hydraulics and Hydrology
The course will provide an overview of the fundamentals of water resources engineering in the fields of hydrology and hydraulics.  Different topics to be covered in this course are:  hydrologic cycle, rainfall analysis, evaporation, infiltration, runoff, hydrograph,  flow routing, hydraulic principles,  channel design, and groundwater basics.

Hydrologic Analysis and Design
The course will provide an introduction to the development and application of engineering design methods. Realistic case-study examples demonstrate the application of widely used hydrologic models, including peak discharge estimation, frequency analysis and urban drainage components. All phases of the hydrologic cycle are discussed, with an emphasis placed on small watershed design, urban hydrology, and to gain expertise on  HEC-HMS hydrologic model.

Water Resources Planning and Management
Water is an essential resource for societal needs, important for domestic, agriculture, energy, ecology and sustainability of ecosystem. Water resources planning and management (WRPM) in the 21st century will witness more challenge due to limited water availability and increase in water demands. This challenge is further compounded by other climate extremes (e.g., drought). The focus of this course is to equip students with scientific skills and concepts to deal with the complex and interdisciplinary world of water resources management. The course outline is provided below:
 Integrated river basin planning and management
 Water infrastructure and systems
 Statistical methods
 Hydrologic forecasting
 Optimization methods for WRPM
 Case studies in USA and around the world, with a focus on water supply, water quality, flood control, groundwater, drought, and water conservation.
