Qualification objectives

Students will understand the simulation of hydraulic processes. They will gain an inside into 2 software packages used for river modeling enabling them to apply their knowledge to other river modeling software. They will be able to work with HEC-RAS and ISIS constructing and calibrating river models and process, assess and present the results.
