The InstructorsDonna M. Newell, MS, PE, CFMDonna Newell is president of NTM Engineering, a women-owned business enterprise (WBE) that specializes in water resources, structural engineering, and engineering course development and instruction. She earned her BS in Civil Engineering and MS in Environmental Engineering from The Pennsylvania State University and maintains Professional Engineering licenses in PA, NY, and FL. Ms. Newell provides statewide support for H&H and permitting to PennDOT’s Bureau of Design. Along with her consulting engineering experience, Ms. Newell has served as an adjunct professor with The Pennsylvania State University, where she taught a graduate level open channel hydraulics course and the H&H portion of the PE Review Course. She was involved in the beta-testing of the first HEC-RAS version for the Army Corp of Engineers while a graduate student at Penn State.

Rachel L. Tereska, MS, PERachel Tereska is a principal of NTM Engineering and a civil engineer who specializes in water resources engineering. Ms. Tereska earned her BS and MS in Civil Engineering from The Pennsylvania State University in 2000 and 2001, respectively, and holds Professional Engineering licenses in PA and DE. Her expertise includes hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, bridge scour analysis, stream stabilization, waterway permitting, and floodplain studies. Ms. Tereska conducted PennDOT’s first 2D hydraulic model analysis using SMS software. She has developed and taught courses on HEC-RAS, scour analysis, hydrology and watershed modeling, and culvert design and instructed the H&H portion of the PE Review Course for different organizations.

NTM Engineering is a Registered Continuing Education Provider (RCEP)

In today’s competitive job market, continuing education can be the key to job security. Your commitment to continuing your professional engineering development serves as a competitive edge. It also helps you meet the mandatory professional development hours (PDH) continuing education credits to renew your Professional Engineering license.

NTM Engineering’s Introduction to HEC-RAS will teach you how to use the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Hydraulic Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) software program. HEC-RAS is an engineering industry standard for modeling steady, gradually-varied, one-dimensional open channel flows.

Our application-oriented training provides lectures along with actual demonstrations and hands-on workshops to introduce you to open channel modeling, culvert and bridge hydraulics, and their applications. NTM will teach you hydraulic analysis procedures for waterway modeling via site assessment, cross-section data collection, hydraulic method selection, output interpretation, and existing and proposed condition comparison.

Introduction to HEC-RAS lecture topics include:

Hydraulic modeling; �

Flow resistance; �

Water surface profiles and their �geometric data requirements;

Layout cross section locations; �

Steady flow; �

Developing HEC-RAS models; �

Bridge hydraulics and modeling; �

Culvert hydraulics and modeling; �and

Existing and proposed conditions �modeling.

When: April 5-7, 2011 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Where: Harrisburg Area Community College, Harrisburg, PA

After completing NTM’s Introduction to HEC-RAS course, you will know how to:

Apply mass, energy, and momentum �conservation principles as they relate to open channel flow and waterway obstructions and encroachments;

Identify data requirements for water surface �profile computations;

Create geometric data files in HEC-RAS; �

Select appropriate model variables, such as �Manning’s n values, contraction/expansion coefficients, culvert loss coefficients, and ineffective flow areas;

Create HEC-RAS flow data files with �appropriate boundary conditions; and

Locate the most important output data, �including summary output tables and errors/warnings, and implement the results.
