COURSE OBJECTIVES Students completing this course will be able to: have the tools necessary for analyzing and identifying the coastal and marine environmental problems. be introduced to the field of coastal engineering. be provided with knowledge of water wave properties. develop the theoretical background for the prediction of water wave phenomena. be trained in water waves analysis in the coastal zone. cultivate the skills needed for the design of coastal structures. foster and encourage teamwork and improve communication skills. LEARNING OUTCOMES Students will analyze and identify the coastal and marine problems. Students will be introduced to the field of coastal engineering. Students will learn various water wave theories. Students will learn about wave processes in the near shore zone. 1 Students will learn about wave interaction with structures. Students will understand the design steps of a coastal structure. Students will acquire the basic skills of technical report writing and oral presentation. Pre-requisite: Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics.
