Stive (Delft University of Technology) 2021 Licence: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 This textbook on Coastal Dynamics focuses on the interrelation between physical wave, flow and sediment transport phenomena and the resulting morphodynamics of a wide variety of coastal systems. The textbook is unique in that it explicitly connects the dynamics of open coasts and tidal basins; not only is the interaction between open coasts and tidal basins of basic importance for the evolution of most coastal systems, but describing the similarities between their physical processes is highly instructive as well. This textbook emphasizes these similarities to the benefit of understanding shared processes such as nonlinearities in flow and sediment transport. Some prior knowledge with respect to the dynamics of flow, waves and sediment transport is recommended. Format: PDF Suggested for: CVG 5124 Coastal Engineering Introduction to Biosystems Engineering Edited by Nicholas M. Holden (University College Dublin), Mary Leigh Wolfe (Virginia Tech), Jactone A. Ogejo (Virginia Tech), and Enda J. Cummins (University College Dublin) 2021 Licence: CC BY 4.0 Introduction to Biosystems Engineering can be used as a customizable text for university-level introductory courses in Biosystems Engineering. Written by an international team of authors, the book is divided into six sections aligned with technical communities within Biosystems Engineering: Energy Systems; Information Technology, Sensors, and Control Systems; Machinery Systems; Natural Resources and Environmental Systems; Plant, Animal, and Facility Systems; and Processing Systems. Within the sections, individual chapters focus on discrete topics that can be covered in one week of class. Each chapter contains the expected learning outcomes, key concepts, applications of the concepts, and worked examples. Format: PDF Includes: Key terms, outcomes, and examples Suggested for: CVG 2132 Fundamentals of Environmental Engineering Introduction to Drafting and AutoCAD 2D eBook∗ Wally Baumback (Vancouver Community College) 2020 Licence: CC BY 4.0 The AutoCAD 2D eBook was written as a tool to guide and teach you to master AutoCAD. No two students learn at the same pace, therefore the eBook was written with competency-based modules. The competency-based modules are bite-size pieces that allow you to work at your own pace. T
