Hydraulic Engineering, Stream Restoration & River Mechanics
Courses:
In the hydraulic program, students select their courses in consultation with their advisor to match their specific needs and interests. No specific courses are required at the master’s or doctoral level, which allows each student maximum flexibility to tailor their education. Typically, students take courses in hydraulics, hydrology, water resources planning and management, and geosciences. Students also commonly take courses in areas such as watershed science, stream ecology, fisheries, geographic information systems, statistics, and ecosystem science.
