Unit content
The Australian hydrologic cycle
Measurement of hydrologic parameters
Statistical analysis of hydrologic data
Risk-based design of stormwater and drainage infrastructure
Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
| On completion of this unit, students should be able to: | GA1 | GA2 | GA3 | GA4 | GA5 | GA6 | GA7 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | describe the distribution of water on the earth's surface and how it moves through the hydrologic cycle | Knowledge of a discipline | ||||||
| 2 | locate, identify and critically assess knowledge development in engineering hydrology | Communication and social skills | ||||||
| 3 | apply probabilistic methods to describe rainfall variability and perform flood frequency analysis | Knowledge of a discipline | ||||||
| 4 | select appropriate risk-based design criteria for stormwater and drainage infrastructure. | Intellectual rigour | Knowledge of a discipline | |||||
