Sustainable water in Hydraulic Course for construction management studentsAbstract:Water is the source of the life for human use and maintains the health of local ecosystem. Waterresources sustainability is the ability to use water in sufficient quantities and quality. Sustainablewater use has been defined as “the use of water that support the ability of human society toendure and flourish into indefinite future without undermining the integrity of the hydrologicalcycle or the ecological systems that depends on it.6” There is need for adding the new section inthe syllabus of hydraulic and hydrology that is been teaching to the colleges, especially technicalcolleges.

Providing thisqualified talent is a challenge facing many engineering schools across the nation. Candidates ofABET accredited universities are instilled with the required technological literacy; however,their critical thinking skills are typically obtained through years of on-the-job training orparticipation in research-based graduate study. Today’s technical employer demands candidatesthat have these skills well in hand for quick industry assimilation and productivity.To meet the demands, engineering schools, with the guidance of ABET, are revamping theirundergraduate curriculum to include activities that stimulate and develop

; Exposition Copyright © 2004, American Society for Engineering EducationABSTRACT One of America’s best kept secrets is the success of its nuclear electric power industry. Thispaper presents data which support the construction and operating successes enjoyed by energycompanies that operate nuclear power plants in the US. The result--the US nuclear industry isalive and well. Perhaps it’s time to start anew the building of nuclear power plants. Let’s take the wraps off the major successes achieved in the nuclear power industry. Over20% of the electricity generated in the United States comes from nuclear power plants. Anadequate, reliable supply of reasonably priced electric energy is not a consequence of anexpanding economy and
