What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populatedfrom NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certificate)

Hydrologic and hydraulic models — calibrate and run simulations independently using analytical software to evaluate water quantity and quality scenarios for mid-scale infrastructure projects.
Storm water network analyses — identify system deficiencies and improvement opportunities by applying established assessment frameworks to municipal drainage systems with limited oversight.
Compliance and regulatory investigations — lead routine investigations into pollutant sources, discharge permits, and wastewater issues, coordinating with agency staff and documenting findings.
Watershed management strategies — develop draft conservation and regulatory-compliance plans by synthesizing hydrologic data, stakeholder input, and applicable clean water regulations.
Water resource technical studies — conduct pollutant loading analyses and evaluate treatment alternatives, summarizing findings in written reports for project teams and clients.
Hydraulic structure designs — evaluate detention facility and flood control structure plans for conformance with engineering standards, flagging issues for senior review in a design-build environment.
Stakeholder presentations — deliver water resource project updates and technical findings to government agencies or public interest groups using clear, audience-appropriate communication.
Watershed protection plans — draft rehabilitation measures and best-management-practice recommendations based on field investigations and GIS-based spatial analysis.
Geographic information systems — build and maintain spatial databases and perform watershed-scale spatial analyses to inform project decisions on a routine basis.
Time and task management — coordinate personal workload across multiple concurrent water resource projects, meeting deadlines and communicating schedule risks to project managers.
