He planned the new faculty building, introduced new courses, encouraged further education for practising engineers and promoted the need for research alongside teaching. Munro's main area of research was hydrology. He helped establish the Water Research Foundation of Australia and served on State and National committees and as consultant on a variety of projects, particularly in retirement. His principal text was Australian water resources and their development (1974). Munro served on the Council of the Institution of Engineers, Australia from 1962 to 1974. In 1992, the Centre for Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of New South Wales was named in his honour. The "C H Munro memorial oration" delivered at the biennial Hydrology and Water Resources Symposium, is also named in his honour. 1924 1924 Career event - Student Member (StudIEAust), Institution of Engineers Australia 1926 1926 Education - Bachelor of Engineering (BE), University of Sydney 1926 1936 Career position - Resident Engineer and Research Officer, Metropolitan Water, Sewerage and Drainage Board, Sydney 1929 1929 Career event - Associate Member (AMIEAust), Institution of Engineers Australia 1936 1946 Career position - Lecturer-in-Charge, Department of Mechanical and Civil Engineering, Sydney Technical College 1941 1945 Career event - Attached to the Commonwealth Department of Munitions as State Supervising Engineer 1946 1951 Career position - Head of Department of Civil Engineering and Assistant Director of Technical Education, Sydney Technical College 1951 1954 Career position - Associate Professor of engineering, New South Wales University of Technology 1954 1954 Career event - Member (MIEAust), Institution of Engineers Australia 1954 1958 Career position - Professor of Civil Engineering, New South Wales University of Technology University of New South Wales from 1958 1958 1969 Career position - Professor of Civil Engineering, University of New South Wales 1962 1974 Career position - Member of Council, Institution of Engineers, Australia 13 Sep 1968 13 Sep 1968 Career event - Fellow (FIEAust), Institution of Engineers Australia [Former Members were designated Fellows on this date.] 1969 1969 Life event - Retired 2006 2006 Award (posthumous) - Hall of Fame, National Committee on Water Engineering, Engineers Australia - recognising individuals who have shaped the theory and practice of water engineering The University of New South Wales (1958 - )
