BAE 580Introduction to Land and Water Engineering (3
hours) This distance course introduces students to concepts of the hydrologic cycle, water quality, precipitation, evapotranspiration, infiltration, watershed delineation, surface runoff and open channel flow. Students will apply these concepts to an engineering design problem. This course is designed for non-engineering distance graduate students and lifelong education students and students from engineering disciplines outside of BAE. It will not substitute for BAE 471. The course is only open to students with senior standing or higher. Typically offered in Fall only

BAE 581Open Channel Hydraulics for Natural Systems (3
hours) Theory and applications of hydraulics to open channels with an emphasis on natural streams and rivers. Course will introduce and develop principles of flow regimes (subcritical/critical/supercritical), and types (uniform flow, gradually varied and rapidly varied flow). Application will include hydraulics of flow measuring devices, step-backwater analysis and rating curve development, and flood studies using hydraulic models. A lab-scale flume will be used to illustrate concepts. Laptops will be used in class to learn and apply HEC-RAS (water surface profiles model). CE 382 or equivalent required. CE 381 recommended.

BAE 587Biogeochemical processes for Ecological engineering and
Environmental Sciences (3 credit hours) The course provides the advanced theoretical knowledge of biogeochemical processes at play in man-made and natural filter systems, such as wetlands and other buffer systems, alleviating common pollutants associated with non-point source pollution, both in rural and suburban watersheds. Particular emphasis is put on the fate of excess nitrogen in these systems. This emphasis serves as a model for describing ecological engineering principles and quantifying processes at play for all pollutants. 20 students max. This course puts together biological, chemical, biochemical, and hydrological knowledge in one ensemble. Minimum proficiency in each of these is necessary to be able to follow the class with ease.
