6. Introduction • Course Syllabus • Topics • Elementary fluid mechanics. • Hydraulics of closed conduits. • Hydraulics of open conduits. • Pumping. • Porous media. • Compressible flow (if time permits).

7. Introduction • Course Syllabus • Objectives • Objective 1: To teach students concepts of fluid mechanics and hydraulics. • Objective 2: To teach students fundamental analysis principles and their application(s). • Objective 3: To teach of state-of-practice approaches to problem solving, including: hydraulic laboratory techniques, data acquisition and interpretation, computational hydraulics.

8. Introduction • Course Syllabus • Performance Criteria • Demonstrate the ability to state principles relevant to fluid mechanics and hydraulics. • Demonstrate the ability to solve pedagogical problems relevant to fluid mechanics and hydraulics. • Students will demonstrate the ability to apply techniques learned in mathematics and engineering mechanics to relevant fluid mechanics and hydraulics problems.

9. Introduction • Course Syllabus • Performance Criteria • Demonstrate the ability to analyze a hydraulic system for in the context of a civil engineering application. • Demonstrate the ability to analyze data to support engineering decisions. • Demonstrate the ability to design a hydraulic system to serve a particular purpose or range of purposes under institutional (right-of-way, regulatory, etc.) constraints.

11. Introduction • Course Administration • Instructors: • Lecture instructor: Dr. T.G. Cleveland • Laboratory instructor: Mr. Zhang • Grading • Exercises • Laboratory reports • Examinations

12. Introduction • Course Administration • Exercises • In-pencil; download and write on print-out. • Graded in class by peers during solution session. Grading in pen. • Binary score (0 = no attempt; 1=attempt). • Due weekly.

13. Introduction • Course Administration • Laboratory Report • Labs conducted in teams. • Reports by individual. • Graded by the laboratory instructor, as per his criteria. • Grades reported to principal instructor.

14. Introduction • Course Administration • Examinations • 3- in class; similar to exercise problems. • Closed book. • 1 – “design problem” will be take-home – you are not to work as a team.

15. Introduction • Component weights

16. Introduction • Academic Honesty • In this class the only collective work you may engage in is/are: • Exercises – you are encouraged to work together, but each individual will submit their own written product for evaluation. • Laboratory – you will conduct experiments as a team; gather data as a team, etc. Analysis and the report are individual activities.
