Course Description & Objectives:

This course draws upon students' knowledge of college-level mathematics and basic sciences and translates this knowledge to understanding fluid flow principles and their application to simple problems (these may involve engineering, economic, environmental, ethical, political, societal, health and safety, manufacturability or sustainability considerations) while providing experimental experience.

Learning Outcomes:

Upon the successful completion of this course the student should:

Apply the concepts, principles, laws, observations, and models of fluids at rest and in motion
Explain fluid behaviour for engineering design and control of fluid systems
Determine resultant interactions of flows in engineered and natural systems using mass, energy and momentum balances.
Correlate experimental data, design tests, and use scale models of fluid flows
Describe the nature of rotation, circulation, resistance(viscous, turbulent), boundary layers, and separation with applications to drag and lift on objects
