Who should attend the course
If you have graduated or are
working as a professional in civil engineering, preferably in water-related
area,
If you want to take advantage of advances
in information and communication technology (ICT) as applied to
water,
If you have a background in civil engineering,
hydraulics or hydrology and/or applied mathematics, and if you are
prepared to make an effort to complete your knowledge in these domains,
If you are ready to use computers and Internet,
if you are eager to explore computer-based modelling of water flows
and hydrological processes, data mining, artificial intelligence,
neural networks, decision support and optimisation applied to water
systems management,
If you feel that traditional engineering
activities should better interact with other topics such as ecology,
social requirements and management,
... this course is for
you
And by the end of the course ...
By the end of the course the participants will
understand the fundamentals of water-related processes and advances
in a wide range of hydroinformatics technologies
know how to choose and use advanced models applied to water-related
assets in a wide variety of hydraulic engineering, hydrologic
and environmental situations, including water resources and flood
management and other problems of civil engineering
know about software tools available on the market, and their possible
advantages and limitations
be able to provide advice to users of advanced information and
communication technology tools
will know how to ride a bike (after all, this is Holland!)
Master programs
There are two different but inter-related Master programmes:
- a 12 months Master of Engineering programme leading to
the MEng degree
- an 18 months Master of Science programme leading to the
MSc degree
The first 9-11 months are common to both Master programmes and
consists of a series of compulsory lectures, exercises, examinations
and fieldtrips. In the end of the first semester participants can
opt for the MEng or MSc programme. In view of the high standards
required, stringent admission criteria are maintained for the MSc
programme.
Of course participants have a lot of fun during the
course. Here is some photo evidence.
