HOW TO:
- Use linear theory, wave characteristic formulas
 - Use wave tables (Weigel, 1966), formulas, software
 - Calculate wave properties (pressure, velocity, acceleration)
 - Use Rayleigh distribution for statistical waves
 - Calculate wave energy density spectrum
 - Make wave hindcast/forecast(s)
 - Relate energy density spectrum to "significant" wave height
 - Draw/Construct wave refraction diagram by hand
 - Determine tidal variations and storm surge statistics at your site
 - Understand wave transformations at coastal sites (shoaling, refraction, breaking, reflection)
 - Calculate the longshore sediment transport rate
 - Conduct an engineering sediment budget study
 - Relate beach volume change to shoreline change (erosion/accretion)
 - Conduct a beach sand gradation analysis (VAT)
 - Estimate size of armor stone for breakwaters
 - Understand how coastal zone management operates at your site (city, county, state, country)
 - Estimate shoreline change using a one-line model
 - Study further (references, journals, conference proceedings, reports, etc.)
  
FUTURE COURSES TO COVER:
 
- Dredging and Beach Engineering, CEE 687
 - Design of Coastal Structures, CEE 782/882
 - Coastal Hydrodynamics and Sediment Transport, CEE 788/888
 - Computational Environmental Fluid Dynamics, CEE 789/889
