By Associated Engineering Press

Graduate students from across the nation will get the chance to explore the possibilities and applications of a high-tech hydrologic simulation and forecasting model similar to one being developed by the National Weather Service during a seven-week summer institute being hosted by the National Water Center and the University of Alabama.

“The challenge to the grad students is to take this really high-tech model output and data we are producing and develop new tools,” said Andrew Ernest, a professor and director of UA’s Environmental Institute. Sources: The Tuscaloosa NewsWVUA NewsWIAT CBS 42The Crimson White

In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
