Course Description Most Water Resources’ project involve the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Such projects require extensive knowledge and the use and GIS for spatial manipulation of natural resources while ensuring effective Water resources Manipulation. Although the modelling of water resources bases on GIS is rather complex and yet a recent approach compared to...

Course Description The course introduces to the participants the theory of soil structure interaction (SSI) both in the static and dynamic sense. The course will expose the participants to the numerical tools available for modelling such problems.  It will include both theoretical lectures and hands-on solutions of practical problems using Matlab. Objectives To introduce the...

Rationale Computer Engineering benefits from Digital signal processing, through its application in the transformation,  synthesis and analysis of data. For example, when modelling a communication channel, filters, generators and analyzers can be used to remove, add or measure noise in processing audio, images and video. The computer engineer to-be therefore has to have a thorough...

Abstract Globally, the construction industry has a poor safety record. This project is on understanding and modelling the dynamics of safety on construction projects with particular focus on Uganda. The scope of the developed safety model is restricted to the effects of undiscovered rework, schedule pressure and cost pressure on accident frequency. In this paper,...
