Current Teaching Activities (Semester Courses)
CEE 336 -- Hydraulic Systems Design
3 credits. Analysis of flow in pipe systems, open channels, measuring devices and model
studies. Design of hydraulic systems associated with water supply, flood control, water
storage and distribution, stormwater and sanitary sewers.
CEE 437 – Watershed and Floodplain Modeling
3 credits. This course reviews hydrologic and hydraulic processes and develops a watershed
model and floodplain hydraulics model using HECHMS Hydrologic Modeling System and
HECRAS River analysis system computer programs. Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling
parameters are developed using GIS applications. Each model is applied to an actual
watershed and conveyance channel.
CEE 634 -- Surface Hydrology
3 credits. Occurrence and distribution of water by natural processes including atmospheric
thermodynamics, precipitation, runoff, infiltration, flood routing and catchment
characteristics, hydrograph analysis, and methods of prediction.
CEE 730 – Statistical Methods in Water Resources
Curriculum Vitae, Scott Kenner, Page 9
4 credits. Stochastic hydrology. Probability and statistics applied to hydrologic problems.
Data synthesis, correlation, time series and spectral analysis. Linear systems theory
applications to hydrologic cycle components and rainfall-runoff processes.
CEE 731 -- Water Quality Assessment
3 credits. Development of water quality models for assessment of both point and non-point
pollution sources with application to waste load allocation, mixing zones, lake
eutrophication, and urban runoff.
CEE 733 -- Techniques of Surface Water Resource and Water Quality Investigations
A study of the theory, design and techniques used in hydrologic and water quality
investigations by environmental engineers, hydrologists, and hydraulic engineers.
Other Courses Taught
CEE 337 -- Engineering Hydrology
3 credits. A quantification study of the components of the hydrologic cycle with emphasis
on engineering applications involving the design of water supplies, reservoirs, spillways,
floodways and urban drainage with computer applications.
CEE 435 -- Water Resources Systems Management
3 credits. This course provides an introduction to the theory and application of systems
analysis for management of water resources. Two thirds of the course is devoted to systems
analysis covering; linear and dynamic programming, sensitivity, optimization and multiobjective analysis. Application of these methods to decision making and water resources
policy is covered in the last third of the course.
CEE 284 Computational Methods in Civil Engineering
4 credits. A one semester introductory course in programming with a language (Visual
Basic) and with a spread sheet and MathCad. Elementary numerical methods and their
application to civil engineering problems will be illustrated by the programming
technique.
