Courses
The Center for Dredging Studies offers two short courses open to professionals in the industry, senior ocean engineering students, and graduate students. These are the
- Dredging Engineering Short Course - The short course covers fundamentals and applications of dredging engineering including fluid mechanics; geotechnical engineering; design and deployment of dredging equipment; removal, reuse, and disposal of clean and contaminated sediment; management strategies; and environmental considerations.
- Cutter Suction Dredge Simulator Short - The short course demonstrates the fundamentals of hydraulic dredging using a cutter suction dredge. Basic concepts of cavitation, deposition of sediment in the pipeline, pipeline length limitations, pump power limitations, and swing winch limitations are simulated. Different sediment conditions and channel currents are also simulated. A PC computer is interfaced to actual controls for a cutter suction dredge.
