Learning Outcomes

Gain knowledge of the range of essential information on water resources engineering and management, and the holistic, interdisciplinary nature of the issues, that you will need in your professional career working on water issues and solving problems. Be motivated and confident about applying your knowledge and understanding of water resources engineering and management, and continue to discover for yourself appropriate solutions to water resources and related interdisciplinary problems.

Gain an understanding of and appreciation of water resources in New Zealand and practical, real-world examples of water resources engineering and management issues and potential solutions both in New Zealand and world-wide. Have sufficient familiarity with the range of methods and tools available that can be used to analyse and design water resources systems and solve problems, and know how to apply some key tools or gather more information when needed.
Be aware of the limitations of your own understanding and knowledge and to be aware of other complementary disciplines. Relate this subject to the skills, knowledge and understanding gained in the rest of the degree programme.
