Course Overview
Soil And Water Conservation Engineering is an online certification course offered by Swayam. The course is designed as a free programme that can be pursued by the learners free of cost. However, Swayam will provide certification only after the completion of the programme based on the result of the proctored examination held at one of the designated centres. Soil And Water Conservation Engineering Certification is a core program developed by Prof. Rajendra Singh who is a faculty at IIT Kharagpur.
Soil And Water Conservation Engineering Certification Course, offered by Swayam, is a 12-week certification course. The programme will equip students with an understanding of engineering principles of soil and water conservation and water management. The online course will explore water erosion, its classification and the agronomical and engineering measures to control and manage water erosion.
