Introduction
This unit is an advanced ocean engineering unit that introduces the students to key concepts in coastal engineering. The unit extends and applies the concepts from Applied Wave Mechanics and Applied Offshore Structural Engineering to the context of coastal-zone hydrodynamics, design of coastal-protection structures, and management of coastal environment. In addition, the students are introduced to the elements of port engineering.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units.
TNE Program units special approval requirements.
* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (see withdrawal dates explained for more information).
Learning Outcomes
ILO 1 Explain key concepts in coastal-zone hydrodynamics, including natural coastal processes, and assess their influences on design of coastal structures
ILO 2 Apply design methodologies for concrete structural beams, columns, and slabs in the context of coastal and port engineering.
ILO 3 Evaluate commercial, technical, environmental and social factors that influence the design of coastal protection structures and port facilities
ILO 4 Implement calculation methods and develop a solution strategy to the design of coastal structures and port facilities for a given set of design requirements
