The RTHnet program is supporting undergraduate and graduate education through research-based learning experiences. The courses listed below provide a brief synopsis of RTHnet's contributions to PSU education.

Undergraduate and Graduate Education

The following courses have directly incorporated field experiences or data from RTHnet:

• CE 361 Engineering Hydrology is a junior/senior level introductory course where students have been rewarded with extra credit for 1-day field experiences that have helped establish RTHnet’s sensor arrays. Additionally, RTHnet has been used in honors projects exploring rainfall-runoff data analysis.
• CE 497 Field Methods in Watershed Hydrology is a junior/senior level independent study that provides students with up to 60 hours of intensive field work experience. The course has been structured to provide students with research-based learning experiences to broaden their understanding of hydrology. Please see the course abstract for a more detailed description of this course, ABSTRACT.
• CE 555 Groundwater Hydrology is a core course in our graduate curriculum where RTHnet has been used to provide students with exposure to state-of-the-art instrumentation methods and help demonstrate the value of real-time field data.

These course descriptions are a small example of RTHnet’s educational merit, this project is contributing broadly to water resources and environmental education at PSU.
