Summer Institute 1

Engineering-Mathematics

Hydraulic engineering involves the study of fluids at rest and in motion, which is common in the fields of civil, environmental, chemical, and mechanical engineering. The principles of hydraulic engineering are applied in several applications ranging from water flowing through pipes to the hydraulic fluid in your car’s brake system. In this institute, we will use a combination of physical models, mathematical models, and computer simulation models to explore some topics in hydraulic engineering that are central to many engineering disciplines. You will use your knowledge of mathematics to analyze and simulate hydraulic phenomena, and you will be challenged to apply those mathematical ideas to see if you can predict what happens in "real life."

The application deadline for the Engineering-Math institute has passed.
