The skill set required forengineers to master all of these areas cannot be acquired in a single engineering designcourse. In addition to academic experience, real-world, professional engineeringexperience is also required. As such, most hydraulic structure design courses focus onthe system design itself through the use of example problems

As anexample, project management skills are often neglected in an engineering curriculum, requiringadditional training for those engineers who end up in management positions6. Skills such as theability to lead and work effectively as a member of a team are frequently identified as critical tothe success of an engineer, but typically are lacking in new engineering graduates7.

The first step is to study the physical problem and determine the flowtype: closed conduit or open channel flow, temporally unsteady or steady stateflow, and spatially varied or constant flow. The second step is to apply theappropriate fundamental principles to the physical flow situation and thusaccurately model the problem with the appropriate equations. The third step is toformulate the
