Welcome to Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering
Program Mission
To provide a high quality, broad academic program in hydrology and water resources engineering including experience and opportunities in applied and basic research to serve the needs of the State of Florida, the nation and the world.
Educational Goals
• Promote innovative education in hydrology and water resources through a
sustained, periodic review of the teaching curriculum;
• Promote distance learning approaches for selected core courses of common interest to
practicing engineers;
• Continually attract top quality students by insisting on high quality in research and
teaching, and by maintaining pace with national trends in graduate student stipends;
• Continually identify and develop where essential, new and challenging areas of
technological applications, and base faculty hiring, as and when required, on their ability
to teach and conduct quality research related to these technologies;
• Promote application of latest computational technology for developing predictive tools
for hydrology and water resources processes and interactions;
• Promote development of latest procedures in laboratory and field techniques for data
collection and analysis;
• Prepare graduate students with an advanced level of understanding of hydrology and water resources processes;
• Prepare graduate students to be effective as teachers in universities and colleges;
• Prepare graduate students to be effective practitioners of hydrology and water resources; and
• Prepare graduate students to enable them to conduct quality level applied and basic
research in hydrology and water resources processes and engineering.
