Course Contents

The course aims to provide students with the basic theoretical background for the core course
‘YDR013 Coastal Engineering and Port Works’. Includes the necessary material for the understanding
of: (a) the characteristics of marine hydraulic flow in a coastal area, (b) the complex phenomenon of
coastal morphodynamics and the effect on coastal mechanics and (c) of the design of coastal and
port projects.

Educational Goals

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: • identify and describe marine
hydraulic processes in the coastal area, • estimate wave propagation at the coastal front and
distinguish wave processes in the coastal area • calculate the wave loadings on a vertical front and
breakwaters with slopes and dimension these constructions

General Skills

The course contributes to the following skills:
_Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and information
_Adapting to new situations
_Decision-making
_Working independently
_Working in an interdisciplinary environment
_Project planning and management
_Respect for the natural environment
_Production of free, creative and inductive thinking.

Use of ICT means

Learning process support (teaching and communication with
students) through PowerPoint lectures, through the online
course website, through the electronic e-learning platform
and through additional electronic communication with
students (online announcements and comments, emails,
etc.). Additional material (lecture presentations, educational
videos, useful sites, and scientific articles) posted on the elearning platform. Teacher-student collaboration time either
in person or via teleconference.

Students Evaluation

Evaluation Language: Greek
Written Examination with Extended Response Questions
(Formative and/or Conclusive)
Theory Assessment (80% of the final grade):
• Written progress exam (20% of the final grade) which
includes:
o Extended Response Theoretical Questions (Formative
and/or Inferential)
o Solving problems-exercises
• Final written exam (60% of the final grade) which includes:o Extended Response Theoretical Questions (Formative
and/or Inferential)
o Solving problems-exercises
Individual assignment (20% of the final grade)
This course description text with the evaluation criteria is
accessible to students in the Department’s study guide
(Department website) and on the course’s website.
The outline is communicated orally to the students during
the first lecture
