Lectures:
LEC (4:30 – 5:45) TF in EE 123
Text(s):
- Hydrology and
Floodplain Analysis – Philip B. Bedient / Huber C. Wayne (2002)
Prerequisites:
CE 309 – Fluid Mechanics and CE 408 – Water Resources and Supply
Course Description:
Hydrologic principles involved in the estimation of
design flows and design hydrographs for hydraulic structures re covered in
this course. Hydrologic cycle and its components, water budget analysis,
runoff volume and peak flow estimation, hydrographic analysis, flow
frequency analysis, flow routing through channels and reservoirs, and
hydrologic design and modeling are some of the topics included in the
course.
Course objectives:
On completion of this course the students will be able to: -
- estimate and analyze components of the hydrologic
cycle such as precipitation, evaporation, infiltration and runoff (a, c,
e, k)
- apply water budget analysis (a, c, e)
- estimate flows and volumes for the design of
hydraulic structures (a, c, e, k)
- route flows through reservoirs and open channels (a,
k)
- apply flow-frequency analysis techniques (a, k)
- model hydrologic systems (a, e, k)
- collect literature and critically analyze current
hydrologic events (i, j)
- write reports and make presentations of assignments
(i, j)
Alphabets within parentheses refer to program outcomes
listed below.
Program Outcomes
a an ability to apply knowledge of
mathematics, science, and engineering
b an ability to design and conduct
experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret
data
c an ability to design a system, component, or
process to meet desired needs
d an ability to function on multi-disciplinary
teams
e an ability to identify, formulate and solve
engineering problems
f an understanding of professional and
ethical responsibilities
g an ability to communicate effectively
h the broad education necessary to understand
the impact of engineering solutions
in a global and societal context
i a recognition of the need for, and an
ability to engage in life-long learning
j a knowledge of contemporary issues
k an ability to use the techniques, skills,
and modern engineering tools necessary for
engineering practice
Computer Usage:
Professional versions of software are introduced for
hydrologic computations. Peak flow and runoff volume estimation, hydrograph
generation, flow routing, and flow-frequency analysis software are
introduced.
Evaluation:
Homework problems from the textbook and other projects
will be assigned and graded. Three midterm tests and a final will be
given. Graduate students will consult with the instructor (not later than
the third week) on course related project, journal review or original
research taken for graduate credit.

Points corresponding to letter grades will be
determined by the instructor based on the class average.
Disability concerns:
Any student with disabilities or other special needs is
invited to share his/her concerns with the instructor as soon as possible.
Every effort will be made to accommodate the concerns.
Academic honesty:
All work in this course must be completed in a manner
consistent with NDSU Senate Policy, Section 355: Code of Academic
Responsibility and Conduct as shown on the university web page,
http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/policy/335.htm.
