Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

Identify and utilize publicly available datasets to conduct engineering and planning analyses
Prepare and present data used to develop water and sewer demand forecasts
Generate and process terrain data input for the HEC-HMS hydrologic model
Use terrain data to generate watershed limits and stream channel networks
Use geographic databases to estimate hydrologic parameters
Use terrain data to establish a stream centerline and cut cross-sections for input into a HEC-RAS hydraulic model
Using aerial photography and terrain data establish bank stations, overbank flow routes, roughness coefficients and ineffective flow areas for input into HEC-RAS
Export GIS data into a HEC-RAS input file
Georeference an existing HEC-RAS model
Develop mapping of floodplain analysis results
Present the results of water distribution modeling in GIS format
