Department of Water Resources Engineering
Department of Water Resources Engineering was upgraded from the Department of Rural Engineering (GRU).Β The upgrading is aimed to improve the quality of the program in order to meet the need of the local and regional job market in the 21st century. Infrastructure development facing the challenge of global changes. To jointly solve the related problems, the Department of Water Resources Engineering has the mandate to produce human resources with the skills to build resilient and efficient infrastructures, safeguard the environment, water, and biodiversity, and promote innovative solutions toward sustainable development. Department of Water Resources offers the program Water Resources Engineering and Rural Infrastructure (WRI). WRI program provides the knowledge and skill for the construction of water-related infrastructures such as the construction of dams, bridges, reservoirs, canals, roads, irrigation systems, retaining walls, and foundations. The student will learn about water resources planning, modeling, and design for water resources projects. This specialization will provide critical thinking on basin management studies, and provide water resources planning, and construction management services for water-related infrastructure development projects.
