CIV2207

Computing and water systems modelling ( 6 points, SCA Band 2, 0.125 EFTSL)

Leader:

Offered:
Clayton Second semester 2006 (Day)

Synopsis: Introduction to spreadsheet analysis and modelling through applications, to hydrology and other civil engineering fields.

Objectives: This unit aims to strengthen the computing skills of undergraduates in civil engineering and related courses, and provide experience with numerical modelling and general computer-based problem solving. Many of the required skills are developed in the context of solving problems in hydrology, geomechanics, and structural engineering. There is some emphasis on theoretical aspects of hydrology.

Assessment: Group assignment: 45% + Class tests: 15% + Final exam (3 hours): 40%. Students must pass both the examination and overall assessment components to pass the unit.

Contact Hours: Three hour lecture, two hour computer lab/practice class, seven hours of private study per week
