This five-module online course will address basic hydrology, model conceptualisation, coupling processes, model setup, model calibration and results analysis. MIKE SHE is tightly integrated with MIKE HYDRO River and the course includes a basic introduction to this.
MIKE SHE can be used to support decision-making across a wide spectrum. Thus, this course is targeted at a broad range of water resources professionals.
Are you an engineer, hydrologist or hydrogeologist working with water planning, water management or water infrastructure? Are you interested in applying state-of-the-art tools to support holistic water-related decisions? Are you curious to learn how MIKE SHE can help you make better decisions?
Are you prepared to complete a five-module instructor-led online course with group work over five weeks?
Does your schedule allow you to allocate two hours to complete assignments for each module – from the comfort of your own office or home, or any location convenient for you?
If yes, you can benefit from this online course.
DHI has added extra course materials offering you the opportunity to invest an extra 1-2 hours of self-study per session to master the software.
This instructor-led online course is divided into five consecutive modules of two hours each, supplemented by a one-hour course introduction. The training takes place on Thursdays from 08:00-10:00 (UTC) for six consecutive weeks. The course dates are 5 November, 12 November, 19 November, 26 November, 3 December and 10 December 2020.
