BEE 4740 - Water and Landscape Engineering Applications

Spring. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: BEE 3310 or CEE 3310 or hydrology course or permission of instructor. Satisfies BE and EnvE capstone design requirement.

L. D. Geohring, T. S. Steenhuis.

Focuses on how water moves in soil and the implications for design of drainage and irrigation systems in the landscape. The course addresses aspects of soil physics, flow in porous media, water quality, and water supply or disposal in regard to drainage and irrigation applications. Emphasis is on problem solving of actual situations, and a major site-design project is required.

Outcome 1: An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.

Outcome 2: An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs.
