Contents

The lecture Hydraulic Engineering, Water Management and Hydraulics provides a basic overview of the aspects of hydraulic engineering and water management including the required fundamentals of applied hydraulics. In loose order to the lecture dates, pre-calculus exercises take place, which present concrete applications for the theoretical knowledge. During the semester, students are required to complete a homework assignment on their own.
The following main topics are dealt with by the Department of Hydraulic Engineering:
  • Hydraulic engineering tasks
  • Hydraulics in hydraulic engineering (channel hydraulics)
  • Currents in hydraulic engineering
  • Hydraulic engineering facilities (hydropower)
The following main topics are dealt with by the Department of Engineering Hydrology and Water Management:
  • Tasks of engineering hydrology
  • Hydrological cycle and water balance
  • Measurement methods for precipitation, evaporation, groundwater, water level and runoff
  • Statistical methods in hydrology
The in-depth study of the course content takes place in the lectures Hydraulic Engineering I and Engineering Hydrology I.

Further Information

Semester-long homework assignment (course work)
  • The exercise consists of two parts and includes a total of four tasks. Two tasks from the Department of Hydraulic Engineering and two tasks from the Department of Engineering Hydrology and Water Management.
  • The exercise will be worked on in groups of 4 students each.
  • You can find the processing time on the cover sheet of the respective exercises.
  • After submission, the exercises are corrected. Incorrect exercises can be reworked a maximum of once. Resubmission of a corrected exercise must take place within one week of its return. Please refer to the cover sheet for the dates.
  • The exercises are not graded, but only “tested” and “not tested”. Note A “tested” homework exercise does not mean that the homework exercise is completely error-free.
Written Exam
  • The 90-minute written exam for the lecture is offered each semester.
  • For the exam, a handwritten (not copied!) collection of formulas (1 sheet DIN A4; double-sided) and a calculator are permitted as aids.
  • Exam results are announced exclusively via TUCaN.
Lecture Materials
Sample Exams
Foe exam preparation, the old exams for the lecture Hydraulic Engineering I and Engineering Hydrology I can also be used. Please note the current topics of the course when preparing exams with old exams.
