The Hydraulics and Water Systems course explores how water interacts with engineered structures such as dams, piping networks, and bridges, while also considering its impact on surrounding environments. This course is ideal for students interested in understanding the dynamics of water flow and the vital role hydraulics play in both infrastructure and environmental sustainability.
Learners will gain insight into how water affects various materials and how to analyse and mitigate these effects through thoughtful design and engineering. The programme introduces the science of water movement for applications such as energy transfer and infrastructure resilience, alongside techniques for managing and rerouting hydraulic flows. Emphasis is also placed on troubleshooting and preventive maintenance practices that are essential for ensuring the reliability of hydraulic systems—particularly in complex environments like vessels and water-intensive facilities.
By the end of the course, students will be equipped with practical knowledge to support the design, maintenance, and optimisation of hydraulic systems within water-related infrastructure, making it an essential foundation for future engineers and technical specialists in the water sector.
