Teaching Hydraulics without Water
Publication: World Water & Environmental Resources Congress 2003
Abstract
When is hydraulic modeling not really modeling? It's when a refugee from the water industry takes on the challenge of teaching a water system design course to college seniors in Urban Engineering studies. The extensive use of modeling software (WaterCAD, EPANet, etc.) in the hands of imaginative students can make a design laboratory an understandable learning experience without getting wet. When the drudgery of calculation is removed, the creativity of experimentation surfaces. The results can be stunning!
