Department of Hydraulic and Water Resource Engineering

Program Objectives

This program is aimed at training manpower required for the realization of the country’s vast hydropower and water resources potential. Well-qualified Hydraulic Engineers who can actively engage in the planning, designing, development and management of water resources projects will be produced through this program. Specifically, the trainees are expected to be equipped with the knowledge that enables them to the following tasks:

• Undertake project identification, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies of water resources projects with emphasis on hydropower projects
• Plan water resources and hydropower projects, and design hydraulic structures required for hydropower systems, water supply systems, Irrigation systems and structures which are related with environmental protection works
• Prepare complete contract documents for water resources projects like hydropower projects, water supply projects, irrigation projects, and projects which are related with environmental protection.
• Plan, design and manage and supervise the construction of hydraulic and hydropower structures and civil engineering works
• Plan, design, manage, monitor and evaluate the operation and maintenance of hydraulic and hydropower systems
• Remodeling and rehabilitation of existing water supply, hydraulic and hydropower systems
