| PROFILE OF THE PARTICIPANTS | ||||||||
Profile of participantsHydroinformatics engineers participate in defining, building and supplying the tools that enable decision-makers to manage aquatic resources and the environment. They work with engineers, scientists and people from other interest groups. The hydroinformatics course is designed for hydraulic, environmental and water resources engineers from universities, consulting firms, research institutes, water boards and other government agencies. The typical participant uses or advises others in the use of mathematical models and hydroinformatics systems for planning, designing or managing the aquatic environment. A good knowledge and experience of hydraulics and hydrology is essential. Participants should preferably have a BSc in civil or environmental engineering and be able to compensate for any weakness in numerical analysis and computational hydraulics. Participants may also come from other engineering, mathematics or applied science backgrounds, and they should be able to compensate for any weakness in hydraulics during the course. Graduates of this specialisation develop an ability to investigate and solve complex problems. They are able to work independently and in teams, and they have good communication skills.
