CEG 211 Hydrololgy & Erosion Control

Lecture: 2 Lab: 3 Clinic: 0 Credits: 3

This course introduces basic engineering principles and characteristics of hydrology, erosion and sediment control. Topics include stormwater runoff, gravity pipe flow, open channel flow, low impact development (LID), erosion control devices and practices. Upon completion, students should be able to analyze and design gravitational drainage structures, identify LID and erosion control elements, and prepare a stormwater drainage plan.

Pre-requisite(s): Take One Set: Set 1: DMA-060, DMA-070, and DMA-080, Set 2: DMA-065, Set 3: MAT-121, Set 4: MAT-171, Set 5: MAT-003, Set 6: BSP-4003
Course is typically offered in Fall.
Course has transfer restrictions - 20 years

Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
At completion of the course, the student should be able to do the following:

Analyze hydrologic conditions of a watershed.
Compute runoff rates using TR-55 and Rational Method.
Design basic storm drainage systems.
Apply design standards in selecting erosion control devices.
Relate low impact development (LID) principles to site development challenges.
