Catalogue Description

Provides an introductory treatment of the dynamics of fluids, with emphasis on incompressible fluids. Hydrostatics, thermodynamics, fluid characteristics, kinematics, and dynamics; methods of analysis include the infinitesimal and finite control volume; development of stress rate-of-strain relations; the basic equations for continuity, energy, motion, and force-momentum are developed and applied.

Course Objectives/Outcomes

This course objectives are derived from Program Educational Objectives for Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering. The specific objectives are:

1. Provide you with fluid mechanics knowledge and skills that allow you to work effectively as Civil Engineers and related job functions in consulting, industry, government, and academia
2. Prepare you for graduate study in Water Resources Engineering and Environmental Engineering.
3. Monitor and ensure your progress by providing timely advisement
