Greetings and hello to everyone! I am Faiz Hashemi a.k.a Shemi for short. A local boy here, from Selangor, but has been staying in Perak for most of my life :D

Will be finishing my bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering at UTP, currently in Final Year Final Semester and of course, has chosen to major in Coastal Engineering!

From my point of view, by the end of this CPM course, I really hope that I will be able to learn and explore more on the natural processes in and around the coastal area. Throughout the brief beginning of the lectures of this CPM course (DCS as well :D), I can already tell that my expectation will not end up in disappointment. My gratitude fully goes to AP Mus for making the lectures in class to be very interesting by teaching through his experiences in the industry. Unlike most of the courses that I have taken, the classes will always focus more on theoretical knowledge in which you cannot see and imagine what is really happening in real life.

I am sure that this is the best way to teach us in grasping the knowledge with much more understanding, which in turn, will help us in our way to become a successful engineer in the near future!

Thanks!

Assalamualaikum wbt and Hi everyone. I'm fazira from Perak, now in final semester of studying.

I wish I ll be able to relate all the basics learn from other two major subjects and be able to understand this subject better. It is really good to have someone with numerous experience from the industries and willing to share em all to us, students. Huge thanks for AP Mus for the sharing and inspirations. Hopefully from this subject, I ll able to enhance my management skills in engineering terms as it is one of crucial skills as an engineer.

Thank you and all the best future engineers !

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone.  I am Mohamad Irwanizal bin Ismail and can call me Irwan. I am from the place that quite far from UTP compared to everyone here which is Kampar, Perak :)

Honestly I don't have my specific interest in choosing major so I just chose coastal major because of following my friends. But after gone through some learning processes, it is very interesting in understanding all the things regarding coastal.

I am very exciting during listening what AP Mus has shared in class regarding the experiences and real world in the coastal engineering industry. Furthermore, know i can understand more about processes such as how can salient and tombolo formed, the causes of erosion and so on from what AP Mus has taught during classes.

So just a two cent suggestion from me, just continue the ways of AP Mus teaching and sharing the experiences as it is very interesting for ordinary student like me. It is better to have site visits and also not burden students for only focusing to excel in exam but most important to gain a knowledge.

Thank you and good luck everyone...

Assalamualaikum & Hi everyone. I am Najwa from Penang. Currently in final year final semester.

To choose a major at first very difficult because I did not have any specific major to be taken since I was so confused to go after career life after graduating. I was doing my internship before with Upstream PETRONAS, KLCC and one of the contributor for me taking major in Coastal Engineering is my supervisor. He advised me to take coastal major as the career life after this will be easier compared to offshore. Therefore, I took his advise and did  major in Coastal.

Throughout the learning on OCE, I found that coastal is very interesting because it made me becomes close to the nature. It will be more merrier and interesting if we can do hands on and expose to the industry life. Hence, a field trip is a must.

As for now, i trully enjoy for every classes with AP Mus either CPM or DCS because AP Mus always relate the coastal engineering with a case study in worldwide issue. I do love the comparison and understand on that way.

I really appreciate the knowledge and efforts that AP Mus delivered to us.

Thank you & Good Day!

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone. My name is `Aifaa and I`m from Ipoh, Perak. Currently in final year final sem.

Basically, I don`t have any specific reason why I chose Coastal Engineering as my major.  I like to visit beaches and I hope that I can learn new thing about the beach and ocean processes. From there I can learn more to appreciate the beauty of coastal engineering.

I have gain interest in Coastal after taking OCE classes. It gives an introduction to coastal processes, features and problem currently happened in coastal area. Next, my expectation for CPM classes is to gain new knowledge, explore more about coastal and maybe applied it in the future.

So far I really like and comfortable with the way AP Mus delivering the knowledge in term of case study and real world situation. All the information and experience that you shared was easy to understand.

Thank you.

Hello everyone,

I’m Yati from Seremban, Negeri Sembilan.Currently in my final year final semester.

To be honest I got confuse to choose my major during final year first semester since we do not been exposed to much about what offshore, construction and coastal engineering. So yes, I don’t have a solid reason why I choose Coastal Engineering as my major. But to think about it, I think most of my senior said that coastal engineering is subject that most interesting to learn about and of course field trip (hehehehe).

First things that I expect from this major is I would like to know more about what is coastal engineering and how it
difference from other major. For this semester I hope to gain more knowledge and the most important thing is how to apply all the knowledge to the real world condition. And I think you as our lecturer have done a very good job
which always talk about real life situation and make us think more (Good job Prof!). This type of learning really make me more understand about the subject instead just talk and refer all in books.

Thank you.

Greetings everyone.
I am Loo Kah Hou. I hail from the "Lands Below the Winds" a.k.a. Sabah. Born and raised at Kota Kinabalu. I'm currently in my first year of my final semester.

Coming from Sabah, mountains and beaches are no strangers to me. To be honest, I get to see both everyday if I wanted to or even if I didn't.

My expectation from this course has been very straight-forward: learning the tricks of the trade for CPM.

Technology has definitely changed the world. More videos and well-presented information in the form of animation or images will most likely do the trick.

I appreciate AP Mus for sharing his experience working in the field and look forward to even more stories.

Thanks

Greeting loved ones 🤗. My name is Kiren Raj (🤙 me Kiren). I come from Penang The Pearl of Orient!

My expectations for the course would be very simple. I would love to explore and learn new things about engineering but this time from a Coastalic perspective.

As this past weeks of lectures, I greatly enjoyed not only the knowledge but also the industrial case study and experience that AP Mus have shared with us. Through this, you get to understand what is required of you from the industry as just in the matter of time to be the future leaders in our respective careers.

Hands on learning would also enable us to appreciate what we have been learning all this while in the classrooms.

I hope all the upcoming lectures and classes would be more and more entertaining and informative.

Looking forward to spend my last semester in UTP with you all.

Thanks and regards,

Hello everyone.

I am Adel Alqerbi from Yemen. I was born and grow up in Saudi Arabia, Alkhubar city. Currently, I'm final year student, final semester.

I live in a city near to seaside which i almost see the coastal area everyday. I really like to stay or live in city beside the sea because somehow it makes me feel peaceful, so this is one of the reasons why i want to study coastal engineering. Before studying civil engineering, I thought that its going to be just about construction but I realized that it's a huge world which brings many different filed together. Therefore, it's such a good apportunity to know and get more information about civil engineering.

For CPM I'm looking forward to understand more about coastal problems and how i can solve these problems. I feel that I'm so lucky to have such a great lecturer to teach us this subject such as Dr. Mustafa. He isn't only teaching us the subject also share with us his experience in actual work. I hope that i can be a good engineer in future InshaAllah.

Thanks

Hello friends :D, my name is jake from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Currently in final year first semester.

To be honest, i'm not much interest to any major. The reason i picked my major (coastal) because the descrition of courses are more interesting to me. My expectation to CPM is to learn knowledges relavent to actual coastal problems and every possible solutions to encounter them.

Lastly, a deepest gratitude goes to our lecturer, AP Mus for always deliver the knowledge in interesting way. Thank you. :)

My name is Samantha and I'm from Miri, Sarawak. At present, I'm based in Kuala Lumpur and also juggling between the first semester of my final year and trying to maintain my sanity.

For as long as I can remember, I've always had this oddly reminiscent relationship with the coast- it signified my entire childhood growing up there :D. Yes, I grew up playing in the Luak Bay beach every weekend in Miri- you could say that Miri was pretty small and there was nothing much going on in that sleepy part of town. About 12 years ago, my family and I got a break from the coast and decided to live in the city of Kuala Lumpur instead. Who knew I would once again return to familiar grounds; it felt more like this was meant to be.

My expectations would revolve around being able to grasp a clearer picture and understanding of what this major is about. The coast and beaches are something travelers and every nation's tourism sector rave about but there aren't as many awareness of ongoing problems experienced in the coast/beaches. If we continue on this path and choose to just be ignorant, the coast and beaches might only exist in history classes.

I actually do appreciate the unique teaching-learning approach practiced in class; it's rather interactive and probably the most uplifting interaction I've ever experienced in my 4 years in UTP *laughs* The only suggestion that I hope you'd include in our future classes would probably be a visual representation (video/simulation) of the  erosion/sedimentation/LSD.

That's it and thank you :D

Assalamualaikum and helloooooooooo everyone!! 😊

I'm Hafizul.
I'm from Terengganu.
I'm in final year final sem (yay!).

To be honest, I love beaches so much! Lying on the sand, wind sweeping through my hair, serene sound of swashes, ahhh, PARADISE.

Alhamdulillah, I had no personal conflict in choosing Coastal as my major since of course, due to my passion towards beaches. I believe when I take learning personal, the fun in it would be as much as the sand on the beach. 😉.

Now let's get to a more technical part. I chose coastal because I want to give appreciation to the surroundings that I grew up in. I noticed that as I the years pass by, significant changes had occur to my beloved beaches. I WANT TO KNOW WHY! I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH IT!

Hence, I believe this path that I have chosen can lead me to finding my answers to solve not only my own personal dispute but certainly other people who thinks like me.

Few suggestions that I can give are:
- Field trips! Yay!
- Simulation of waves to show how erosion occur with presence of coastal structure.
- A clear structure of our syllabus.

With that, I thank you.

Hi, I am Yee Ying, from Muar, Johor, currently in final year final semester.

Frankly, I have never known so much about a beach and coast before joining coastal engineering for elective, and I thought that civil engineering was just purely about construction of those usual buildings and infrastructures.
For this course, lectures are not just being in-class lectures, but also some sharing sessions from the lecturer's experiences and some real-life examples on development of coastal structures, which is very applicable for us.

I expect to understand better on coastal engineering and of course in CPM area. Besides, frankly it is hard to imagine those coastal structures and their effects purely with the words on lecture slides and some pictures of them, if there is a field trip, it will enhance our knowledge and have a better understanding on these structures.
Also, activities like the current assignment and project will be a good platform for us to apply what we have learnt, and to look for additional information by ourselves.

Hello everyone,

I am Eric from Ipoh. I have chosen coastal engineering as my choice of major as it is a field of engineering which i have the least knowledge regarding and would still need to learn more about before i graduate.

I expect to learn as much as possible from this class and would like to be exposed to the current practices which are available, being developed in research and used in coastal developments.

Lastly, I would like to say that the learning method and means of communication which is currently used is very suitable and sufficient for the class.

Hello everyone :) I am Jun Jie from Sungai Petani, Kedah. Currently in my final year first semester. The reason I am taking coastal engineeeing as my major Ian because I have deep interest when's it is related to water, rivers and oceans. Besides that, I think this field will have a good future as cities like Penang island and Singapore Ian running out of land, thus land reclamation will be useful.

What I expect from this course? I wish to have a deep understanding on the fundamental knowledge so that I can utilize the knowledge well. I also hope the knowledge and skills that I have learned is useful for my future career.

I really like how AP Mus deliver the knowledge in class with lots of real life cases. With the use of email and whatsapp, we also can learn anytime and anywhere, not only in the class. Thank you. :)

Assalamualaikum and hai . I am Fatin Azureen  from segamat, Johor. Currently in my final year final semester.

I have chosen Coastal engineering as my major  because i always amaze to see structure a long the coastal area. From previous  semester taking OCE, I found that many interesting part and term that we explore and it basically  important to protect  or solve the problem along the coastal area. From this subject, it make me aware why we need more engineer for this particular area.

For this semester, i hope i am able to understand better in CPM and relate to the real world for my future career. i'm enjoying the teaching style especially during the sharing session. and i notice there are some important note that we should mark and write down. so i would like to request if possible that AP give some lecture slide that contain the case studies of the project and how they solve it. so that we can used for future materials for study. because some part we might lose during the conversation (sharing session).so through this material, we might be recall what have been you share in the class.

so far AP already doing a great job and motivate me to love more this subject. Thank you :)

Hi there I'm theeva, from Johor and currently in my final year 1st semester.

Well Basically I chose coastal cause it sounded pretty cool🤤. I chose coastal cause I feel that's the only major that I'm kinda clueless about, it's kinda risky but at the end of the day I'm very sure that I'm gonna learn something that I've never known. We're all dying to have a field trip but rather than a whole class going to the same place I would suggest we split and go to different places and maybe later on when we're back in class we can share the things that we've learned from each places. In this case students will be more determined while they're in a field trip.

Hello, I'm Bee Yee from Kuala Lumpur.

I  chose Coastal as my major simply because i want to learn something new and I just don't want offshore. I like the ocean but not in the middle of the ocean. I would rather stand on beach and watch the ocean.

My expectation for CPM is to understand how''s a coastal project being handled. While for the learning environment, i'm enjoying it especially during the sharing of industrial experience.

Thanks

Greetings to all, I am Wan Aiman, final year second semester student from Kota Bharu Kelantan.

From previous semester taking OCE, I found that coastal engineering is very interesting and I am glad to choose this major for my degree. It is a new exposure and knowledge to be explored for a civil engineering student. Knowing the fundamental concept and details of the coastal processes are the advantages for us. It also help us to understand as well as appreciate the natural process around us.

For this semester, I hope I am able to gain more knowledge in all aspects especially regarding the industry for my future career. I also notice that the lecturer always share his experience during the lecture which give the students some picture of the real situation we will face. Hopefully all of us will be happy and enjoy the courses instead just coming to the class. Thanks. :D

Assalamualaikum and Hai. I am Afiqah from Kelantan, currently in final year first semester.

I'm interested in coastal major even I'm actually did not have a whole idea what coastal is all about. The one thing I'm sure is, it's about beaches and construction at coastal area. I'm glad that I have attended adjunct lecture regarding coastal major during my 3rd year 2nd semester which I found it's refreshing and interesting to study and gain knowledge on.

My expectation on this course is, it will be an interesting course. I hope I can follow the lecture till the end and score in tests, quizzes and exam of course.The number of student in our class is quite big, thus I hope we can change our venue to other classroom which can accommodate all of us well. So far, I'm happy with classes I have attended for this course so far. I'm looking forward to have field trip and for more exposure on real situation.

Thank You

Hi, I am Kawy from Ipoh Perak ^.^

I am choosing Coastal Engineering as my major just simply of the present of water. I like to work with water all the time, because it is visible and predictable.

My first impression of coastal was land reclamation. Due to that, my expectation for this course is learning and understanding more coastal related project, problem and solution including land reclamation issue.

In the past few lecture, I would like to say I pretty love this learning environment due to the teaching style of Sir AP Mus having . I hope this will be maintain and if it is possible I need more joke. :-)

Asalamualaikum and Hi. My name is Taufik from Sabah. In context of picking major, I was in dilemma between offshore and coastal. However, I attended a talk related to coastal major in 3rd year 2nd semester which at least give me more big picture of the major. Honestly during the first class of CPM I felt confused since I have very less idea on most of the terms mentioned by AP that I had to google most of them and thinking that maybe i'm not belong to this major, until I knew that Appendix A exists.

For now Alhamdulillah I feel quite comfortable with this subject. I just need to struggle a little bit more than some other subjects.

My hope for this subject is of course, a field trip. I heard that the flaw of our existing field trip is that students don't really get the actual objective of it and focus 100% on the excitement. If possible, I would like to prepare a paperwork on the fieldtrip inclusive of the proposal and report (of course with help of other students) so that everyone can aware that the fieldtrip is part of study, with excitement involvement.

Conclusion: Please, field trip. 🙏🏼

Hello and good afternoon peeps. I am Tommy from Kelantan and currently in my final year first semester.

I were very confused when choosing major because I do not know which one I was interested in. Then I just go with my heart and decided to choose Coastal Engineering as my major. I fall in love with this subject because I love the way sir taught us by showing us the real situation happened on site, how to deal with the clients, consultants and etc. It was fun and a stress-free lecture.

What I expect from this course is of course is to gain new knowledge and hopefully it will be helpful for me in future when dealing with coastal problems. Not to forget about the site visit to a nice beach will definitely makes us

Hi everyone, I am Anisah currently in my final year final semester. I lived in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan.

At first, I don't really have any solid reason on why I choose this major at the first place. However, after going through OCE class last semester, the beauty of Coastal Engineering itself had me hooked and I couldn't wait to learn, explore and experience more about Coastal Engineering.

As a student, we are always expecting a fun and stress free lecture. We can always use fun method for example using Kahoot for our quiz sessions. Not only that, a sharing session related to Coastal Engineering activities or projects around the world so that it could enhance on our understanding in this subject.

Last but not least, I am looking forward for more adventure with our dear lecturer and my fellow classmates :)

Civil Engineering Final Year 1st student from Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor.
I love beautiful beaches.  I believe that Coastal Engineering is a way of understanding how to respect mother nature. Sir painted quite a good picture on how unpredictable and complicated the coast can be. Wind, wave, current, tide, biological processes,  and interaction of all the other elements made coastal engineering very challenging.

What I expected the most is of course we can go to a nice beach together and get down-to-earth experience of what we are studying. Like getting the fishermen 'feel' of the coastal processes and understanding them from different perspectives etc. I'm looking forward to it. =D

And of course the practical stuffs like deeper understanding of design codes, important authority guidelines, and solution to case studies.

Hola amigo. I'm Sakinah from Perak, currently in final year first semester.

I never realized how much I am amazed by physics behind water until my call for internship is coming. I have been involved in coastal numerical modelling, some coastal structure design and site supervision on land reclamation project. I am inspired by coastal engineer that I have met. On that moment I realized, I should fulfil my destiny in coastal engineering even though I have dreaming of becoming structural engineer. But I know I make a right choice, I love water, it make me calmer... and sometimes wiser, that is what I called 'wave effect'.

I have no expectation to the course, I just hope to gain as much as possible and understand better, not for myself but for betterment of all.

I think to introduce physical modelling and numerical modelling in the learning process would be a good platform to make us appreciate coastal process.

Thank you ✌

I'm Kelvin Wong Toh Kiak from sarawak. I'm currently in final semester civil engineering. The reason I choose coastal as major is because there's once I follow my dad go to his site at bintulu similajau there . The project are building new port for bintulu . There I see how they construct the breakwater , position it in water and etc. I think this is interesting. This is so different from normal contruction works. And therefore trigger my interest regarding coastal engineering. What I expect from this course would be knowledge that are applicable. I would love to know the purpose of each knowledge and how it's going be use in future industry. That would be another way to trigger my curiousity in the subject. And of course a industry visit/ beach visit would be good cause so far my batch being deny numerous time of field trip :(

So, my expectation for this course, eventually all the knowledge and important information regarding to the coastal planning and management would be at the end of our fingertips as we can always have discussed and solved various problems exposed in the field-trip or even in the class. Outdoor activities, for example a field trip to the any coast in Malaysia would be a great exposure and more experience acquired for future endurances in real working life. Gracias people!

Hi everyone. You can call me Mizah. I am from Melaka. I am currently in final year first semester.

I chose coastal engineering as my major because I want to know more how we can protect our coastal and minimize the damages since nowadays there are too many developments involved around coastal area.

My expectation for this course are to be able to gain knowledge and able to use the knowledge  in my job later on, insyaallah. Besides that, I also expect an A from this course.

The lecturer for this course is already great with his effort to make sure that we will understand everything in simplest way. :)

I just want to suggest that if we could find a larger class so that we can be more comfortable to learn and for the lecturer to teach us.

You can call me Fara or my popular nickname Maklang in our class, currently in Semester 7. Originally from Batu Pahat, Johor.

I chose coastal engineering due to my sole reason, trying to learn what I can do to protect my environment. I lived near the recreation beach truth be told, so, who knows; one day I might save the beach from extinction and being eroded critically.  We need to protect the beach for the ecosystem to be balanced. I shall explore all the possible ways to protect the environment  for next generation and also as my future career.

The class is already fun with the efforts of great lecturer, yet Im looking forward for the upcoming 12 weeks.  And not to lie, I do expect an A from this course. Heee~

If I can suggest anything for learning basis, the original classic solution, sir. FIELD. TRIP.

Salam and hi everyone!

I'm Muhammad Zulkarnain bin Abdul Hadi, from Civil Engineering, currently in Semester 7 from Batu Pahat, Johor.

Having coastal engineering as my major is like completing the cycle of knowledge that I think that I should gain in university studies. As coastal is about dealing with amphibic condition; including both onshore and offshore, it is a great opportunity for me to explore and relate things together for future needs.

Learning in class shall be interactive, with open-ended problems/activities, in order for students to develop, being creative and applied knowledge in solving engineering problems. Thus, students shall learn on how to be independent learner rather than being spoon-feed.

Thank you. Nice to meet you guys.

You can call me Din. I usually don’t write a padlet but when I do, I cant stop writing. I am from Batu Pahat, Johor and currently in final year final semester.

Before I pick any major, I actually don’t understand coastal that much but when I start to join this major last semester, I began to start think critically and I capable to imagine thing so well  . This is because coastal teach us how we think about the natural environment react to human development and how us react to natural environment  . Furthermore during my internship, I learn how normal construction look like. By finishing my internship period I thought I am ready to become engineer with the knowledge I gain but actually I am wrong , there is knowledge beyond my expectation . Thus , I start to join this major to challenge myself and become the truly super engineer.

My expectation for this course is that I really hope that I can use the knowledge that I gain and able to serve well in this country and bring proud to my family especially my father, Ismail Bin Esa.

As for the lecturer,  thanks for your kindness and sincerity by facilitate us throughout this week.

Thank you . Nice to meet you guys.

Sorry for my bad grammar ( Tula mak suruh baca newspaper kecik2 xnak, ni lah padahnya)

Greetings. I'm Ahmd Faiz Bin Mohd Naim from Civil Engineering department Final year Final Semester. I have a hobby which is travelling. Throughout my travel experience across the globe which include the Europe and Asia, one thing that will always caught my eyes which is the wonder of nature as well as the way that  how astonishing it is with all the development that has been done by human being with all the modern technology which allow us to be in the world where we never even think of before. In addition, every time when i went back to Europe, i will always be attracted to see on how they protect their coastal area and how they maintain the area from any damages cause by natural as well as human activity especially in the netherlands, Spain, The UK as well as Indonesia and lot more places. Besides, waves can also be a main source of energy in the future for instance in the UK, in the year of 2020 the will be focusing on how to generate their energy by using waves since the waves in the UK is ideal to produce energy.

My expectation for this course will be focusing on how to be able to enrhance my knowledge on the coastal planning and management and how can we improve our mindset on how we think about coastal engineering. In todays world, most of the people don't really take a serious thought about coastal engineering but within a few years time, people will start to understand on how important it is to have coastal engineers in protecting the coastal region plus the develpment at the coastline area.

I'm looking forward to have a good experience in the class.

Hi peeps.
You guys can call me Sham. I am from Final Year First Semester and live in Kota Tinggi, Johor.

My expectation for this course is to be able to catch up and digest what have been learned in class to be implemented in quiz, tests, final exam and also for the use of future career. As this major course is kind of new things for me with a lot of rare terms, which i have not heard before, being mentioned, I hope I can adapt well with the help of great, experienced lecturer and intelligent course mates.

How can we leverage technology?

I am pretty sure this course enabled us the students to use and experienced such a powerful and useful software/applications/gadget so that we can learn and understand better in real site situation. In my opinion, we can go for a site visit, to observe & collect the data, and use up existing software to analyze like true engineers did. Plus, during class time, you can include more interesting videos related to this subject so that we can understand better.

Best wishes and may the waves be with you, all.

Thank you :)

Salam and greetings to all.

Welcome to the new class of Coastal Planning and Management (VDB4233-Sep 2017).

I'm from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of UTP. I teach final year major elective subjects related to Coastal Engineering. In this field, nothing can separate between classroom learning and field experience. We learn as we walk along the beach :-)

I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience, especially in bringing real examples from the industries. In achieving the most from this class, I encourage you all to participate actively and get engaged in our activities and make full use of the available gadgets and technology.

To me, educators should be enthusiastic facilitator. I don’t see myself as teaching but I facilitate the learning process… in an exciting way (I hope).

Wish you will enjoy my class.

Salam and Hi 👋

I'm Afify currently Final Year Final Semester student in Civil Engineering majoring in Ocean and Coastal Engineering. My hometown is at Batu Buruk, Kuala Terengganu which is just a stone's throw away from Pantai Batu Buruk.

Therefore I've seen some coastal structures at my area such as breakwaters, revetments, bulkheads and ports. Currently, there are many projects which are under construction at this area and the most remarkable one is Kuala Terengganu City Center Drawbridge with 632m length and 23m width. Seeing all these projects encourage me to learn more about coastal and having an experience lecturer like AP Mus is such a blessing 💝.

My expectation is to gain as much as knowledge in this area of study. #cliche

Learning in class would be more exciting if we can have more sharing on the real case study for coastal area related problems (simulation or experimental results) or any software used in designing and planning the coastal projects.

Regards,
El Afify
