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:

describe the distribution of water on the earth's surface and how it moves through the hydrologic cycle

locate, identify and critically assess knowledge development in engineering hydrology

apply probabilistic methods to describe rainfall variability and perform flood frequency analysis

select appropriate risk-based design criteria for stormwater and drainage infrastructure.
