Course Description
Multipurpose river use; naturalphysical processes in alluvial rivers; channel modification practices; river structures; design prctices; impact of river modification; problem analysis; and impact minimization. Offered alternate years with the recommendation that you have taken CE 313 previously.
Course Objectives
The student, upon completion of this course, should be able to:
Make observations and develop hypotheses about river processes.
Select and implement appropriate methods of data collection for addressing engineering problems.
Analyze and summarize field data.
Interpret data analyses.
Identify appropriate engineering solutions.
Formally present analyses and design recommendations.
Discuss Willamette Valley River system history, characteristics and challenges.
- Develop a working knowledge of natural river processes and their analysis.
- Promote critical, holistic thinking about river manipulation and response.
- Recognition of risks, benefits, and appropriate application of conventional and state-of-the-art river engineering practices and design methods.
- Predict outcomes of interactions between river processes and river manipulations.
- Cultivate awareness of ecological outcomes of decisions about river management, including impact minimization.
- Learn methods for restoration of rivers from adversely impacted states to more natural conditions.
- Become familiar with the engineering design process, including problem analysis, data collection, and design presentation.
