| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This seminar provides a forum where the students exchange their ideas toward the completion of their masters' theses and improve their presentation and communication skills. Being assigned a specific research project related to water resources engineering, each student reports progress in the project and then answers questions raised by the other students and supervisors. | ||
| Course Goals | Develop the skills to collect, analyze, organize and present materials for research projects. | ||
| Schedule and Contents |
The course will be delivered in a seminar format and will consist of presentations and discussions on various topics, such as the following: 1. Development of a basic theory based on mathematical models, surveys and experiments. Structure of turbulence; physicochemical interactions between soil particles and water; hydrological processes; biological population dynamics. 2. Numerical analyses using the finite element method and the finite volume method Destination of surface and groundwater; transport phenomena of matter, heat, and organisms; linking water resources to geographical information systems. 3. Optimization using mathematical programming and optimal control Multi-purpose optimization of water resources based on a comprehensive consideration for flood control, water use, the environment, and ecosystems; sustainable water resource management based on stochastic control. |

| Evaluation Methods and Policy |
Grading will be based on an overall assessment of presentations and discussions. Refer to current year's 'Guide to Degree Programs' for attainment levels of evaluation. |
||
| Course Requirements | Basic knowledge of hydraulics (including experimental and calculation techniques), water resource utilization, and water-use systems engineering is required. | ||
| Study outside of Class (preparation and review) | Look up information related to research topics in advance. | ||
