Advanced Topics in Engineering is designed as a technical depth course for engineering majors. Course topics can adapt to new technologies and opportunities and build on the engineering fundamentals developed through 100- and 200-level coursework. Permission of the instructor required. Not open to first-years and sophomores.: This course is an introduction to the principles and applications of 1-D open channel flow. Analytical and
numerical solutions to steady and unsteady flow problems and uniform and spatially varied flow profiles will
be developed from the conservation laws. These fundamentals will be interwoven with real-word
applications to the design and analysis of artificial channels, drop structures, dams and culverts.
Programming assignments using basic numerical techniques will be used to foster understanding of the
solution methods. The course may include a visit of nearby field site. Prerequisites: EGR 374.
