A new field exercise for experiential learning in coastal engineering Dr. Ryan P. Mulligan Department of Civil Engineering May 1, 2019

CIVL451 - Coastal Engineering Understanding natural processes Waves Currents, tides, winds, sediments, storms, ice… Oceans, lakes, reservoirs, estuaries… Designing structures To withstand natural forces Protect infrastructure, and people Reduce risk of natural hazards

Breakwater Park Field Wave Measurement hands-on experience in a new field exercise use pressure sensors to measure waves Work in groups Set up sensor using computer Deploy in the field Data analysis and interpretation Field observations, compared to: Predictions (hindcast calculations, computer model) Report (individual)
