Master of Science in Civil Engineering (Water Resources and Environmental Engineering)

Mandatory courses are equivalent to 9 credits in addition to “Technical Writing and Research Methods” (GEN600), while the elective courses from the selected specialization (or from other) are equivalent to 9 credits. The student will have to prepare a research thesis that is equivalent o 18 credits. The student should register in IHD699 for at least 18 credits.

Postgraduate Diploma
Irrigation and Drainage Engineering

Students have to complete 30 credits. Mandatory courses are equivalent to 18 credits (at least) while the elective courses from the selected specialization or other specializations are equivalent to 12 credits. The courses that could be taken from other specializations must be approved by the academic advisor and should not exceed 6 credits.

Learning outcomes

TBD After successful completion of this course students are expected to be able to:

      Understand the needs and repercussions of irrigation activities in the context of changing land-use and water availability and institutional conditions
      Analyse the relationship between irrigation water requirements for multiple land use at field level and the source of the irrigation water, including the role of rainfall
      Appraise the current irrigation design challenges in the context of multiple sources of water in large irrigation systems
      Design hydraulic interventions for the conjunctive use of multiple irrigation modalities in large irrigation systems
      Propose institutional reforms that support the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the proposed hydraulic interventions
      Assess the expected performance of the proposed interventions and analyse these for the multiple dimensions of technology, management/governance and water user perspectives
      Present and defend the proposed interventions in a professional manner.
