Book Description

ISBN-10: 0965758079 | ISBN-13: 978-0965758079 | Publication Date: September 1, 2001 | Edition: 4th

CAIHE plays an important role in linking hydraulic theory with real-world applications and computer modeling by focusing on problem solving skills that will help the user to become a better engineer. It includes worked examples of simple hydraulic tasks, and detailed "real-world" problems for students and professionals to solve. This fourth edition includes several enhancements based on feedback from adopters of the first through third editions, including new detailed tutorial examples and even more end-of-the-chapter examples. CAIHE's companion academic CD-ROM contains fully functional versions of Haestad Methods' most popular Windows-based programs for ditch and open channel flow, storm sewer design, culvert analysis, sanitary sewer design, and water distribution network modeling while the text includes the theory and equations that the software is based on.

The CAIHE textbook and accompanying academic software are currently in use by the vast majority of all ABET accredited engineering schools, as well as by many of the international "Washington Accord" group members. Furthermore, since many states now require CEUs and PDHs for professional license renewal, easy and affordable continuing education is of great importance to civil engineers. As the first IACET "Certified Provider" of continuing education, Haestad Methods' professional version of the CAIHE includes a workbook that can be graded with 3 CEUs awarded for a passing grade. By combining both traditional theory and cutting-edge technology, CAIHE's practical approach to design and analysis methods stands at the forefront of hydraulic engineering education.

5.0 out of 5 stars secret to a successful civil engineering job hunt, May 5, 2002

If you're a civil engineer looking to make a move these days, it will pay you to know how to use the software tools built by Haestad. This company is the standard in water modeling. I used this book in college and recently acquired the latest edition to bone up for a water resources position that was being offered in California. This book dispenses with all the deep theory and gets right down to the practical business of modeling. Since, it includes academic versions of all the standard models, it was easy to get a refresher course, and I held my own during the interview.

I like the fact that Haestad Methods has added more software and coverage. Highly recommended.

For those of you sick of engineering texts filled with a bunch of theoretical junk, this is the book for you. It very nicely blends a little bit of theory with some real-world practical applications and the software in the back really brings hydraulic engineering into the 21st century.
