Learning Objectives

  • Learn about field investigations needed before starting drainage system design
  • Learn how selection of design storm magnitudes depends on the protection sought, the type of construction contemplated, and the consequences of storms of greater magnitude than the design storm.
  • Learn about the design of roadway culverts to accommodate rainfall conditions.
  • Learn the approach to hydrologic analysis of an area for given rainfall conditions.
  • Learn about the hydraulic design of drainage channels and structures to accommodate rainfall.
  • Learn about erosion control and riprap protection for drainage channels and structures.
  • Learn how channels are treated in hydraulic studies.

Very general in content, illustrations and were difficult to read.
Serves as a beginning and source of detailed references for more in-depth study.

Very simplified discussion, figures from textbook sources, etc. more in depth coverage of information presented.

Not only is there a shortage of visual aids, the ones that are included are not legible. Not enough actual examples to keep one's attention, only generalized text. I will look for some other more interesting courses to complete.

Wow, an email from a real person and not a pre-written response.  That is very refreshing.  I will be sure to recommend this site to others in my field!

Thank you for your quick response.  I can take unlimited courses for up to one year?  That means I can apply some of the courses for this year’s  deadline, and take additional courses after that toward my next period deadline!
