Perquisite: Fluid Mechanics (ECIV 3321)
Course Aims:
The main objectives of this course is to provide the student with a clear and through the presentation of the theory and application of Hydrualics as it applies to pipes, pumps, water distribution networks and open channels. This course will build on topics covered in Dynamics and mainly in Fluid Mechanics.
Course Intended Learning Outcomes:
· An ability to design, and analyze and interpret data
· An ability to design a Hydraulics system, its components, or process to meet required design values.
· An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
· A knowledge of contemporary issues in Hydraulic Engineering.
· An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for hydraulic system practices.
· An ability to identify, formulate, and solve Hydraulic problems.
