Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
Students will learn about the protection and development in the especially flooding and inundation in river basin.
Style:
Classes are based on lectures, and group work, experiments, and exercises are also conducted.
Notice:
This course's content will amount to 90 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports. The course is open to students from any department. Classes will be taught as simply as possible, but students should prepare textbooks. Basic knowledge of hydraulics, sanitary engineering and environmental engineering will be explained in the lecture as much as possible.  
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
