1. B.Sc. PROGRAM IN HYDRAULIC AND WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING
1.1 Background
The hydraulic engineering undergraduate program was started in Hydraulic Engineering department, a
predecessor of the current hydraulic and water resources department in Arba Minch University. The
program was one of thethree founding departmentsof Arba Minch Water Technology Institute [AWTI].
AWTI was established in 1986 G.C with the initial purpose of the institute being to train middle level
professionals (diploma level and B.Sc. degree) and narrow the gap between the professional position
and the low-level technicians in water technology studies.
The Hydraulic and Water Resource Engineering program aspires to be a regional center of excellence
in water technology studies.
The current curriculum has been revised several times in order to include new subjects, teaching
approach and the skilled manpower requirement of the nation in specific subject areas. According to
the current education policy students from high school, who have completed ten plus two (10+2) years
of preparatory and have passed the entrance exams are directly admitted to the Hydraulic and Water
Resources Engineering department, thereby making the study duration for five years.
1.2 Program Rationale
Ethiopia is endowed with significant amount of water resources. The optimum utilization of these
resources requires trained professionals in this specialized field of civil engineering. Although hydraulic
and water resource engineering professionals can be trained at graduate level, such a training requires
long duration a higher costs.
On the other hand, the fight against perversity cannot be won without sufficient and reliable supply of
cheap electricity. Hence, hydropower development as a cheap, reliable and environmental friendly
source of energy is preferred over other sources of energy. The Hydraulic and water resource
engineering undergraduate program was commenced to produce professional in the field who can plan,
design, construct and operate hydropower schemes in a relatively short duration and lower costs.

8. STRUCTURE OF THE PROGRAMME
The revised under-graduate B.Sc. study programme “Hydraulic and Water Resources
Engineering” in total consists of 10 semesters or five years.The first semester is designed as an
orientation semester, in which all new engineering students attend the same common courses. Only
after completion of this first semester and upon assessment of the individual student‟s performance in
this semester the student‟s will finally be allocated to the specific B.Sc. study programme.Subsequently
the student – in the period of the 2nd to the 7th semester – is exposed to the so-called “Basic Hydraulic
and Water Resources Engineering Studies”, in which the student shall gain all fundamental
mathematical, basicEngineering as well as basic field-specific skills and abilities being relevant for
Hydraulic and Water Resources engineers.At the end of the 7th semester a “holistic examination” is
scheduled, in which the student shall proof his/her ability to address and solve more complex and
practice-relevant problems by combined application of a number of skills and abilities he has gained
while attending the above-mentioned Basic Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineering studies (2nd to
7th semester).
Upon successful pass of the holistic exam the student then enters the mandatory, full-semester
internship in the 8th semester.
Following the successful completion of the internship, the student will pursue one semester (semester
9) of so-called “Project Studies”, in which he/she shall gain advanced project-related skills and abilities.
The 10th and final semester is – apart from some elective courses for specialisation - nearly exclusively
dedicated to the elaboration of the B.Sc. thesis

therefore, soil and water conservation refers to the various erosion
control practices as well as water conservation techniques. Moreover to
this it is essential to ensure food self-efficiency in the face of increasing

Module 23: Elective Course Module
Module Number [23]

The present module “Elective course module” comprise in total five

individual courses, out of which the students in their last study semester
(5th year, 2nd semester) shall choose one course in order to deepen the
specific knowledge and to obtain more specific capabilities in selected
fields of Hydraulic and water resources engineering.
The module “Elective courses” provides five specific courses in the field
of Hydraulic and Water Resources Engineering and shall therefore be a
Rationale and supplementary specification to the obligatory modules in this field,
objective of the
module The aim of this module to open the door for students to choose one
obligatory courses out of five listed hydraulic and water resources
engineering courses thereby students will have better and advanced
understanding about hydraulic and Water resources development
practice moreover to this
 They will apply science, mathematics, and modern engineering
tools to identify, prevent, analyze and solve environmental and
water resources problems.
 Effectively communicate both orally and in writing, the nature of,
164
and solution to environmental and water resources problems.
 As any kind of environmental pollution management is directly

linked to the aspects of rights and obligations for pollution
prevention, minimization and treatment the subject of
environmental law plays a very important role in this context. All
legal aspects shall be dealt with in the course called
“Environmental Law”.
At present time shortage of surface fresh water is observed therefore it

is unquestionable to exploit ground water for different purpose to
accomplish this issue students should equip with knowledge about
ground water modeling this will be dealt in ground water modeling
courses.
