Communication skills for a successful professional career Our alumni work all over the world.
Alumni have attained positions of senior professional responsibility in universities, research establishments and industry. Our students have opportunities to pursue flexible and tailored curricula in engineering or other UI departments in support of individual career objectives. Courses may be selected to develop a breadth and depth of knowledge in theme areas, such as environmental fluid dynamics, computational fluid dynamics, design of hydraulic structures, hydrometeorology, and advanced experimental techniques for fluids and hydraulic engineering. Students may also select courses that support interests in environmental processes, biomedical engineering, landform processes, heat-transfer, materials processing, and other topics. This permits varying, yet complementary, approaches for investigating and solving a wide variety of flow problems.
