Lecture: M&W 1:25pm-2:15pm
Lab/Recitation: Friday, 12:20pm- 2:15pm

Objective:
To acquaint students, through lecture, problem solving, and laboratory experience with the fundamental engineering principles of fluid statics and transport.

Course Description:
This course presents the fundamentals of engineering science and design related to fluid statics and transport.

Evaluation:

1. (5%) Attendance/Notebook/Quiz/*Homework
2. (60%) 3 Exams
3. (15%) 3 Labs and Reports/Oral Presentation
4. (20%) Comprehensive Final  (see UGA website for date and time)

*Home will be assigned, but collected at the discretion of the instructor.

Course Outline:

• Fluid Fundamentals
• Fluid Statics
• Kinematics of Fluid Motion
• Systems, Control Volumes, Conservation of Mass, The Reynolds Transport Theorem
• Flow of an Incompressible Ideal Fluid
• The Impulse-Momentum Principle
• Flow of a Real Fluid
• Similitude, and Dimensional Analysis
• Flow in Pipes
• Open Channel Flow
• Lift and Drag – Incompressible Flow

(Note: As the course progresses and evolves, the course topics may be subject to change at my discretion).

Grading:
90 to 100 / A
80 to 90 / B
70 to 80 / C
60 to 70 / D
0 to 59 / F

General Recommendations:

• Homework is to be kept in a ringed binder type notebook. Homework should be completed on engineering paper using the  format as presented by the instructor.
• Make every attempt to solve problems on your own before seeking assistance.
• The presentation and method of solution is potentially as equally important as the final answer.

Attendance:
Regularity of class attendance is essential.  The responsibility of promptly making up work missed on account of absences rests entirely with the student.  Be forewarned that each class is built on material covered in the previous class, so you may find yourself lost as a result of an absence.  In addition, if you are late for class, you will more than likely find yourself unable to catch up, so be in class on time. A student who incurs an excessive number of absences *may be **withdrawn from the class at the discretion of the professor. Four unexcused absences may result in a loss of one letter grade. Generally, an absence during an exam will result in a zero for that exam. Exceptions may include advance permission of the instructor or verifiable emergencies. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor.

* A student may be withdrawn from this course by the instructor without notification to the student for excessive absences or for failure to complete necessary prerequisites. For this course eight unexcused class absences constitutes “excessive absences” .

** Withdrawal from the class will not necessarily result in a grade of “W”.  Factors such as absences, grades, etc. will be taken into  consideration and if merited, a “WF” may be awarded.

Academic Honesty:
All students are responsible for maintaining the highest standards of honesty and integrity in every phase of their academic careers.  The penalties for academic dishonesty are severe and ignorance is not an acceptable defense.  The document for academic honesty may be found at the web site for The University of Georgia Office of Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost.

Departmental Grading Policy regarding Communication Skills:
Thirty percent of the grade on all written assignments (lab reports, and papers) and oral presentations will be based on quality of communication. Spelling, grammar, punctuation, and clarity of writing are evidence of written communication quality.  Enunciation, voice projection, clarity and logical order of the presentation and effective use of visual aids are evidence of oral communication quality.

Engineering Professionalism Policy:
Engineers make great contributions to society.  Engineering is a very satisfying profession that provides many rewards but is demanding and requires hard work.  The engineering profession is governed by a code of ethics.  Engineering faculty at UGA expect students to act in a professional manner at all times and develop the work ethics required for a successful engineering career.  Engineering students at UGA are responsible for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and professional practice.

Students are reminded that they are bound by the University of Georgia’s Academic Honesty Policy.  If you have misplaced your copy, the policy is posted on the Web at: www.uga.edu/vpaa/polproc/ahpol/main.html

Copyright Policy:
Both Federal and State law forbid the unlawful duplication of copyrighted computer software or other reproductions of copyrighted materials.  In accordance with these policies, Gainesville College expressly forbids the copying of such materials supplied by or used in the College.  Unlawful duplication of copyrighted materials by a user may result in disciplinary action by the College under the Student Conduct Code (Non-Academic Infractions - Prohibitions, Theft), and/or possible criminal action by the owner of the copyright.

Disruptive Behavior:
Students who exhibit behaviors that are considered to obstruct or disrupt this class or its learning activities will be considered under the Board of Regents Policy on Disruptive Behavior.  Behaviors which are considered to be inappropriate in this classroom include sleeping, eating (optional), coming in late (coming to class after lecture begins), interrupting others, talking out of turn, inappropriate behavior during group work, verbal behavior that is disrespectful of other students or the faculty member, or other behaviors that may be disruptive.  Students who exhibit such behavior may be temporarily dismissed from the class by the instructor.

Other General Instructions:

• No food, drinks, or tobacco products are permitted in the  lab.  If you choose to do otherwise, you will be asked to leave.
• Late work will generally not be accepted.  Any disputes over grading of tests or homework must be handled within 1 week of the date the material is returned to the students.
