Strengthen Decision-making In Water Resource Management
What happens when heavy rain raises a river’s level, or when engineers need to predict how water will move through a lake, channel, or drainage system? Mathematical models can help examine these questions. And help provide solutions.
Water resources modeling uses numerical methods and computer simulations to represent water movement and related processes in natural and engineered systems. These models help engineers analyze data, evaluate design alternatives, and make informed, cost-effective water management decisions. Professionals with advanced modeling and programming skills are in high demand as water management challenges become increasingly complex.
Michigan Tech’s Water Resources Modeling Graduate Certificate, offered online and on campus, develops knowledge of hydraulic, hydrologic, and water-related modeling approaches.
Who is This Certificate For?
This certificate is designed for engineers and graduate students interested in water resources, hydrology, hydraulics, environmental systems, and related computational or physical sciences. It can also support professionals seeking more specialized modeling knowledge.
What You Need to Know
In the graduate certificate in Water Modeling, you'll develop numerical modeling and simulation skills for analyzing natural and engineered water systems. Coursework options cover water quality, hydrodynamics, river and floodplain hydraulics, and water resources systems. Using water-related datasets and case studies, you'll learn to build models, visualize and interpret results, and communicate findings to support system management, analysis, and design.
This certificate, which takes an interdisciplinary approach, brings together students from physical sciences, geosciences, computational sciences, and engineering. You'll be exposed to students who use multiple perspectives to tackle water-related challenges.
Admissions
