  • The SDSU Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has a  VisuaLab  featuring a Silicon Graphics Octane server and six Sun Ultra 10 workstations. This lab is used for teaching and research applications in web-based engineering practice, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, GIS, remote sensing, high-visualization computing, and virtual reality.

  • There is financial support for graduate studies starting Spring 2004, and continuing through Fall 2004. Click -here-   for more information.

  • Prof. Ponce teaches three graduate-level classes at SDSU:

    1201. CIVE632 Computational Hydraulics and Hydrology
    1202. CIVE633 Environmental Hydrology
    1203. CIVE634 Surface Water Hydrology

  • Other water-resources related classes taught by Prof. Ponce at SDSU are:

    1204. CIVE444 Applied Hydraulics
    1205. CIVE445 Applied Hydrology
    1206. CIVE530 Open-channel Hydraulics

  • The requirement for an M.S. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering is with emphasis in Water Resources Engineering is the following:

    • A total of 30 units (10 courses), with or without thesis. A thesis amounts to six (6) units.

    • A minimum of six (6) courses should be graduate courses (600-numbered) offered by the civil and environmental engineering department.

    • Four (4) of the graduate courses (600-numbered) should be in water resources engineering.

  • To view a sample M.S. program with specialization in water resources engineering, visit
