The minor prepares students to:

Specialize in water resources engineering-related areas within their own major field
Enter graduate programs related to water resources engineering
Solve engineering challenges posed by a changing climate
Work on case studies from real life projects to advance their knowledge

By the time of graduation, students will be able to have:

an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex water resources engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
an ability to design and propose the appropriate infrastructure solutions to address water resources challenges
an ability to apply water resources engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret water-related data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
