General Information

Overview

Advanced Water Engineering will introduce you to different components of the hydrologic cycle that are essential for designing complex water infrastructures. In this unit, you will discuss concepts of probability and uncertainty governing water resources projects. You will estimate design rainfall and losses, and peak flows and volumes for engineering design. You will also be introduced to the design of pipe networks for water supply and collection of wastewater and stormwater. You will also learn how to apply the concept of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD). In completing these tasks, you must use appropriate technical language in written communication and work in teams to solve problems.

Recommendation

The assessments should be revamped to incorporate additional industry-specific methods and practices into the projects.

Feedback from SUTE

Feedback

Students felt overwhelmed by the sheer volume of available resources.

Recommendation

The learning resources currently lack cohesion, and an excess of resources overwhelms students. The resources should be closely aligned with the content and categorised into essential and reference groups.
