Introduction to Hydraulic Engineering – CEE3420
What is Hydraulic Engineering?
Connection between Hydraulic Engineering and Fluid Mechanics (prereq)?
Hydraulics and Hydrology – The Difference?
Why Study Hydraulic Engineering? Who cares?
Definition
Hydraulic Engineering is a sub-discipline of ‘Civil Engineering’ concerned with the flow and conveyance of fluids, principally water. This area of engineering is intimately related to the design of bridges, dams, channels, canals, and levess and to both sanitary and environmental engineering.
Common topics for design of Hydraulic Engineers are: Hydraulic Structures like dams, levees, culverts; Water Distribution networks, water collection networks, storm water management, sediment transport and various other topics related to Transportation Engineering and Geotechnical Engineering

But why care about water?Too little or Too much is a problem
Real-world Application of Hydraulic Engineering: Two Scenarios
1. Pioneers settling in the river banks of Memphis in the 1700s
2. Rebuilding New Orleans after Katrina
