Grand challenges for hydrology education in the 21st century
TLDR
A thorough understanding of the hydrosphere is crucial for the sustainable evolution of human society and the ecosystem in a rapidly changing world This understanding can only come from well-trained professionals in the field of hydrology working in research and practice as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
A thorough understanding of the hydrosphere is crucial for the sustainable evolution of human society and the ecosystem in a rapidly changing world This understanding can only come from well-trained professionals in the field of hydrology working in research and practice In civil and environmental engineering, this knowledge is the basis for the design of infrastructure and its management This paper briefly reviews the historical development of engineering hydrology education from the middle of the twentieth century The twentieth century was characterized by the establishment in the 1950s and 1960s of a clear, modern, and durable vision for hydrology education as a distinct formal program of study, and the consolidation in the 1990s of the original vision In recent years, a series of publications has expanded the traditional vision of hydrology education This recent literature emphasizes formalized approaches to hydrology education, including community-developed curricular resources, data-baread more

Inductive Teaching and Learning Methods: Definitions, Comparisons, and Research Bases
TL;DR: This study reviews several of the most commonly used inductive teaching methods, including inquiry learning, problem-based learning, project-basedLearning, case-based teaching, discovery learning, and just-in-time teaching, and defines each method, highlights commonalities and specific differences, and reviews research on the effectiveness.

Urbanization causes nonstationarity in Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall extremes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a nonstationary frequency analysis on Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall (ISMR) extremes in a Generalized Additive Model for Location, Scale and Shape (GAMLSS) framework with a cluster of 74 models, considering nonstationarity in different possible combinations.
Taking the Pulse of Hydrology Education

TL;DR: It is suggested that while an education with a common basis is desirable, it is clearly not available at the moment and this lack of consistency may be contributing to slow progress in hydrologic science.

Enhancing the T-shaped learning profile when teaching hydrology using data, modeling, and visualization activities
TL;DR: It was expected that the inclusion of a data-driven simulation lab exercise that was contextualized within a real-world situation and more consistent with the job duties of a professional in the field, would provide enhanced learning and appreciation of job duties beyond more conventional paper-and-pencil exercises in a lower-division undergraduate course.

Does Active Learning Work? A Review of the Research
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the evidence for the effectiveness of active learning and define the common forms of activelearning most relevant for engineering faculty and critically examine the core element of each method, finding broad but uneven support for the core elements of active, collaborative, cooperative and problem-based learning.

TL;DR: Climate change undermines a basic assumption that historically has facilitated management of water supplies, demands, and risks and threatens to derail efforts to conserve and manage water resources.
