AI-Assisted Hydrology Hydraulics Planning
This online engineering PDH course introduces the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) as decision-support tools in hydrology, hydraulics, and climate-resilience planning.
Hydrology and hydraulic engineering increasingly rely on data-driven methods to improve the accuracy and efficiency of water resources planning and infrastructure design. AI and ML provide engineers with advanced capabilities to analyze large datasets, forecast hydrologic events, evaluate climate-related risks, and support resilient engineering solutions under changing environmental conditions.
This course covers the use of AI and ML in rainfall-runoff modeling, flood forecasting, watershed classification, stormwater infrastructure sizing, and climate change scenario analysis. It also emphasizes engineering validation, risk-based thinking, quality management principles, and the responsible integration of AI tools to ensure transparent, defensible, and reliable engineering decisions.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to civil engineers and environmental engineers, as well as other technical professionals interested in learning more about AI-assisted hydrology, hydraulics, and climate-resilience planning.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with AI and ML applications in hydrologic and hydraulic analyses
