Specific objectives stated by the academic staff for academic year 2024-25

The main objective is to make the basic concepts related to river engineering understable for the students. Other general goals are: to provide the basics of the methods and techniques in river engineering: river morphology and hydraulics, channel protection, channeling, etc.. So as to develop the student's capabilities in planning and design processes in river systems.
Specific objectives to be achieved are:
- Understanding the basic concepts of river dynamics and engineering.
- Planning, design and construction of protection against avenues, defense margins and channeling.
- Learning about interference in the river environment and its environment.
- Comprehension of the calculation of all the aforementioned, as well as the fundamentals, methodology and application of specific software.
- Analysis of the results and decision making.
