This course has been developed by Keith Mackie under the aegis of the
South African Institution of Civil Engineering. It is based on a
lifetime of experience in the field of coastal and harbour engineering
and is a completely fresh and practical approach to the whole subject.

The course and the textbook are intended to provide an overview of the
subject and to impart a sound common sense towards the sea for those who
are not specialists in the field but occasionally have to do with the
sea and the shore. As such, the course and the textbook will be very
accessible to those engineers who retain a basic numeracy but no longer
use advanced theory. It will be equally accessible to other planning
professionals who also have to do with the sea and the shore and are
merely numerate without a mathematical background.

For those who specialise in coastal engineering, the course will act as
a useful refresher and an introduction to aspects outside of their
working experience or, for those intending to embark on that route, as a
useful primer. Since all the essential formula have been included in the
textbook, it will serve as a very useful reference that will cover most
of the problems encountered in normal coastal and harbour engineering.
The section on dry-docking is unique in that it is one of the few texts
covering the field coherently and in the case of the mechanical systems,
is the most advanced material available in this field.

Delegates to the course will be issued with a personal copy of the
textbook "Basic Coastal & Harbour Engineering". Since it is not possible
to teach this wide range of topics in the brief time available, the
object of the course will be familiarise delegates with the content of
the book, show them how to use it and impart a proper approach to the
subject. The format of the course will be to introduce, explain and
expand on the topics covered in the textbook.




CPD: The course will be accredited for CPD points by SAICE.


Course Presentation




The course will be presented over two days. The first day will be an
overview of the field and is intended to engender a basic understanding
and "feel" for the subject. The second day will focus on the specifics -
particularly the use and understanding of the formulae on one hand and
the specific legal, environmental and functional issues on the other.




Delegates will receive a complete ca 400-page reference book written for
this course.
