This course introduces the principles and applications of water resources engineering, focusing on how water moves, is stored, and can be managed in natural and human-made systems. Students will learn how to analyze catchments, estimate runoff, and design systems for water supply, irrigation, and flood control.
The course combines theory with practical tools such as HEC-HMS for hydrologic modeling and decision-making. It also emphasizes sustainable management, showing how engineering solutions connect with environmental and social needs. By the end of the course, students will understand the main components of the hydrologic cycle, evaluate water demands, and apply engineering approaches to solve real-world water challenges.

This course provides to reduce the carbon
footprint of organisations and encourage the conservation of energy, energy
efficiency has become an integral part of building services design, maintenance
and upgrade. This course consists of four modules that, together, provide an
introduction to energy efficiency in buildings. It is a comprehensive tutorial,
meant to engage and challenge students to consider the many decision levels and
options involved in advancing energy efficiency in buildings. The course covers
the fundamental technical, design, policy and financial dimensions necessary to
practically engage on the topic. Energy efficient buildings are a cornerstone
of a prosperous, sustainable and healthy society. This course aims to prepare
participants to successfully advance energy efficient building construction and
retrofits by equipping them.
Construction projects are risky. Things can and do go wrong
regularly. In this course, we explore the fundamentals of risk
management in construction projects. The purpose of this course is to
learn the tools and techniques to manage uncertain events and
circumstances that can influence the project. The course is designed for
engineers, quantity surveyors, and construction management
professionals looking to further develop their learning.
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
Understand the fundamentals of risk management including key terms and definitions
Apply and use the risk management process to properly identify, analyze and manage uncertain events and circumstances
Understand
the specific risks applicable to construction projects including
technical, construction, health and safety, environmental, commercial,
and external
