Course Content
|
This course offers students an introduction to fundamental concepts and methods in fluid mechanics. It covers various topics such as pressure, hydrostatics, and buoyancy, as well as open systems and control volume analysis. The course also explores mass conservation and momentum conservation in moving fluids, flow through pipes and boundary layers. Students will engage in formulating models to study, analyze, and design fluid systems using these concepts. Additionally, they will develop problem-solving skills crucial for practical applications of fluid mechanics in engineering practice.

Course Methods and Techniques
|
Learners will be provided with as much opportunities of hands-on practice as possible with the aim of striking a balance between learner-centeredness and sufficient guidance. Various forms of interaction (i.e. pair work and group work) will also be encouraged to cater for learners with different learning styles. Additionally, individuals will be expected to produce both in-class writings and homework assignments in addition to the reading tasks, which will encourage them to reflect and think critically. Technology will also be incorporated into the classroom procedures in order to create a better learning environment.
