The Urban Water Resources Design Certificate is offered by the Water Resources and Environmental Engineering Program. The program is geared to Civil Engineers and Water Resource Professionals engaged in design of urban hydraulic and hydrologic systems in the Philadelphia metropolitan and suburban areas. The certificate consists of four graduate level courses. Program length can vary between 4 and 6 semesters depending upon when the student starts the program. All courses are offered in the evening, and through real time distance education. The courses included as part of the certificate are:

Required Courses:

• CEE 8503   Open Channel Hydraulics
• CEE 8501   Surface Water Hydrology
• CEE 8508   Urban Hydrology and Storm Water Management

Elective Courses (1 of 10):

• CEE 8503  Open Channel Hydraulics
• CEE 8507  Environmental Fluid Mechanics
•  Water Resource Planning Management
• CEE 7010  Lake, Stream, and Wetland Ecology
• CEE 7111  Intro. Hydraulic Engineering. and Hydrology
• CEE 8501  Surface Water Hydrology
• CEE 8502  Watershed Modeling
• CEE 8510  Groundwater Hydrology
• CEE 8508  Urban Hydrology & Storm Water Management
• CEE 7111  Introduction to Hydraulic Engineering and Hydrology
• CEE 8512  River Mechanics & Engineering

Students will be required to meet the course prerequisites and maintain a "B" average. Candidates without an ABET approved Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering may be required to complete prerequisites depending on their academic background. Courses completed for the certificate would apply toward a MSCE or MSWREE should the student wish to continue.

Admission Requirements

Admission requirements are the same as for the current graduate program. Candidates interested in the Certificate apply for admission for either the Masters in Civil Engineering or Masters of Water Resources &  Environmental Engineering degree.
