College of Sciences
This course unit is organized into the following activities: Getting Started—The R Environment; Structures in R; Input and Output in R; Manipulating Structures in R; Fundamentals of Algorithms; Programming Structures in R; Group Mini-Project: Creating an R function to address a real-world “water” problem
Objectives*:
The course aims to 1) introduce the basics of the interpreted language used in engineering tools (environment, structures, input/output, structure manipulation, graphics, programming), 2) to provide the fundamental theoretical knowledge needed to create their own functions and programs using practical examples in water sciences so that 3) students can independently continue their self-directed learning and develop expertise in R.

Spring
This module aims to provide students with a practical understanding of the implementation of IWRM and public participation in water management through an active learning approach.
It is centered on “Cooplage,” a support system for implementing participatory approaches to water management developed by researchers at the UMR GEAU, and the associated Agreenium MOOC, Terr’eau & co.
Students will work in small groups—comprising students from different tracks within the Master’s in Water program—on case studies drawn from the instructors’ ongoing research projects. Learning will take place through the application of certain tools from the “Cooplage” program to their case studies, particularly modeling and participatory simulation in the form of role-playing. To ground their work in real-world context, students will be connected with the stakeholders involved in these case studies.
