FINAL EXAM: Monday, December 8 from 8:00-10:00

Objectives:  Students successfully completing this course will be able to analyze the forces of static and moving fluids with an emphasis on incompressible flow in buoyant structures, static hydraulic structures, pipe networks, open channels, dams, reservoirs and flow measurement devices. CME 201 (Statics) is a pre-requisite for this course, which is usually taken in the Spring semester of the sophomore year for Civil Engineering undergraduates. This course is a pre-requisite for CME 315, CME 311, and CME 216 (or can be taken concurrently).

Homework problems will be assigned approximately every week and are due in class 1 week after assigned. Approximately ten laboratory reports will be prepared based upon hands-on training in the CME/Christopher Burke Water Resources Laboratory. Laboratory reports will be a group effort with your assigned lab group. Each student will be the lead author for two lab reports. All group members must participate in each lab report.

FURTHER INFORMATION AND HELP WITH EXCEL

The ACCC holds a variety of workshops and webcasts on computer software. Please go to this site for updated Excel workshops
 

Computer-based teaching modules for all of the subjects we will cover are installed on the computers in the CME student computer lab. In addition, there are many helpful laboratory demonstrations. These modules have computer input problems to solve and have been kindly provided for use in our class by Professor Vaughan Voller at the University of Minnesota. They can be found on the computers and run by clicking on the FLUIDS95Macromedia^(TM) authorware file.
