Grading Policy:
• Homework (10%): Submit through BbLearn
• Mid-term Exam #1 (30%) Week 4 on Chapters 1-2

• Mid-term Exam #3 (30%) Week 11 on Chapters 6, 8, 9
• No Final Exam
Course Objectives:
1. Explain the critical properties of a fluid (gas and liquid).
2. State Bernoulli equation, Newton’s Laws of Motion, Conservation of Mass, Conservation
of Momentum, and Navier-Stokes equation as they apply to fluid mechanics.
3. Understand how each term of important fluid mechanics equations relates to these
fundamental laws.
4. Classify fluid mechanics problems into several basic types.
5. Solve the basic types of fluid mechanics problems, including statics and dynamics
(inviscid/viscous, internal/external, incompressible/compressible).
6. Justify the validity of assumptions necessary to simplify problems.
7. Predict the qualitative outcome of a given set of fluid conditions based on an intuitive
understanding of fluid mechanics and dimensional analysis.
8. Analyze a real-world fluid mechanics phenomenon, explain it to a non-engineer, and
design a demonstration aid.

Program Outcomes listed in Criterion 3 or any other outcome addressed by this course
1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying
principles of engineering, science, and mathematics (program outcome 1)
2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs
with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social,
environmental, and economic factors (program outcome 2)
3. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations
and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions
in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts (program outcome 4)
4. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret
data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions (program outcome 6)
5. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning
strategies (program outcome 7)
