项目摘要

Engineering - Civil (54)Hydrology is the science that deals with the occurrence, distribution, and circulation of water and its interaction with various physical, chemical, and biological processes of the earth system. National reports have advocated for improvements in the undergraduate hydrology curriculum in the key areas of observation and modeling. This project is enhancing student learning in undergraduate engineering hydrology courses through the use of recent advances in interactive scientific visualization. The project leaders are developing an innovative virtual-reality hydrologic observatory that integrates field observations collected in a real watershed with the capabilities of a process-based model that simulates rainfall-runoff in the same watershed. The observatory facilitates the introduction of field experiences and observational skills into hydrology courses using innovative virtual techniques and is developing students' knowledge and investigative skills on rainfall-runoff processes through the use of interactive and visually-supported hydrologic simulations. The observatory mimics the students experiences during a real visit to the watershed. Students have the ability to virtually download and analyze data from various hydrologic and meteorological instruments used in the field, furthering their learning and comprehension.

水文学是一门研究水的发生、分布和循环及其与地球系统的各种物理、化学和生物过程相互作用的科学。国家报告主张在观测和建模的关键领域改进水文学本科课程。该项目通过使用交互式科学可视化的最新进展来提高学生在本科工程水文课程中的学习。项目负责人正在开发一个创新的虚拟现实水文观测站，它将在真实的流域收集的实地观测结果与基于过程的模型的能力相结合，该模型模拟了同一流域的径流。该观测站利用创新的虚拟技术，促进将实地经验和观测技能引入水文学课程，并通过使用互动和视觉支持的水文模拟，培养学生对径流过程的知识和调查技能。天文台模仿学生们在真实的参观分水岭时的经历。学生有能力从现场使用的各种水文和气象仪器中虚拟下载和分析数据，促进他们的学习和理解。
