Major (Course): Water Engineering

Program: Master/PhD

Introduction:

Department of Water Engineering (DOW), founded in 2008, has two main majors including Hydraulic Structures (HS) and Water Resources Management (WRM). There is no denying the fact that Water Engineering is of high importance for different reasons in our country. In the first place, with rapid rise of population in megacities, there is a ferocious demand for optimal usage of communities water resources in domestic, industrial, and agricultural sections. Needless to say, the primary cause of DOW is to raise well-trained individuals, particularly among the younger generation so as to fulfill societies needs in the water section. Generally, it can be said that the major of HS includes analysis and hydraulic design of structures being subject to flow. What is more, HS might have a huge level of overlap with other Civil Engineering majors in a quite few research fields. In accordance with the major emphasis of WRM, graduate education give students a golden opportunity to enhance the knowledge level of Water Engineers to have a key role in detecting surface and groundwater resources, controlling pollution of water resources, and hydrologic studies of watersheds. More importantly, well-educated water engineers are expected to earn a reasonable decision-making sense in the critical state of drought and flood events, and management of water projects.
