COASTAL ENGINEERING – COASTAL PROTECTION WORKS
Description
- Search, analyse and synthesize data and information, using the necessary technologies
- Adapting to new situations
- Decision-making
- Autonomous work
- Teamwork
- Project design
- Respect for the natural environment
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
The student after the completion of the course possess advanced knowledge involving a critical understanding of theories and principles
- marine hydraulics and nonlinear wave theory,
- coastal hydrodynamics,
- the sediment transport mechanism,
- the problem of coastal erosion.
Skills
The student after the completion of the course possess advanced skills in solving complex and unpredictable problems
- the design of coastal projects from a technical and environmental point of view,
- the methodology for designing coastal erosion protection projects.
Abilities
The student after the completion of the course will manage complex work plans and will be able to make decisions in unpredictable work environments or about technical problems. They will also be able to work individually and collectively when designing such projects.
In particular, students will be able to:
- assess and judge technical, environmental, social and economic factors when designing coastal projects
- synthesize and propose best or new solutions based on the above assessment.
