and I welcome individuals of all ages, backgrounds, beliefs, ethnicities, genders,

gender identities, gender expressions, national origins, religious affiliations, sexual

orientations, ability and other visible and nonvisible differences. All members of this

class are expected to contribute to a respectful, welcoming and inclusive environment

for every other member of the class. If you feel that your contribution is not being

valued for any reason, please speak with me privately. If you wish to communicate

anonymously you may do so in writing or speak with the Office of Social Justice,

Inclusion, Conflict Resolution (socialjustice@rowan.edu, 856-256-5496, Room 118,

Robinson Hall).

COMMUNICATION

Slack will be used to communicate and share materials in the class. Slack

offers an app for Windows, MacOS, iOS and Andriod as well as a browser

application. It is the responsibility of the student to accept the invitation and familiarize

themselves with the application. Any issues with the application should be resolved

within the first week of beginning of classes. No emails will be answered after the

first week. Absolutely no excuses will be accepted for missing deadlines for not

having access to the application. The team name for Slack is rowancee2019

ACCOMODATION

Your academic success is important. If you have a documented disability that

may have an impact upon your work in this class, please contact me. Students must

provide documentation of their disability to the Academic Success Center to receive

official University services and accommodations. The Academic Success Center can

be reached at 856-256-4234. The Center is located on the 3rd floor of Savitz Hall.

The staff is available to answer questions regarding accommodations or assist you in

your pursuit of accommodations. We look forward to working with you to meet your

learning goals.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

Lectures: Attendance is mandatory. If you know that you will be absent from a class

for a valid reason, obtain approval from instructor 24 hours before the class period.

The only exception to this rule is a medical emergency. Missing exams without

valid medical excuse will result in a zero grade.

Lab: Attendance will be taken during lab and missing lab without a valid medical

excuse will result in a zero grade for the lab. If the student misses the lab with a valid

medical excuse, the student should complete a makeup lab and write their own lab

report. If you miss more than two labs without a valid excuse, you will receive

zero grade for the lab portion of your final grade.

ROWAN SUCCESS NETWORK (RSN)

The Rowan Success Network powered by Starfish® is designed to make it

easier for you to connect with the resources you need to be successful at Rowan.

Throughout the term, you may receive email from the Rowan Success Network team

(Starfish®) regarding your academic performance. Please pay attention to these

emails and consider taking the recommended actions. Utilize the scheduling tools to

make appointments at your convenience including tutoring. Additional information

about RSN may be found here (https://sites.rowan.edu/student-

success/rsn/index.html)

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY

Everyone in class should complete and sign the academic integrity form. This

will be due at the beginning of the semester. Failing to follow guidelines will result in a

zero grade in the assignment, quiz or exam at a minimum. Any academic integrity

violation will be reported to the University’s provost office for further action. The

university’s academic integrity policy can be found here.

(https://confluence.rowan.edu/display/POLICY/Academic+Integrity+Policy)

PROFESSIONAL & ETHICAL BEHAVIOR

Professional behavior is expected of the students in and out of the classroom.

Online platform provided to the students are learning tools. Unprofessional behavior

on these platforms will result in punitive action as deemed by the instructor.

II. COURSE GUIDELINES

DESCRIPTION

Fluid mechanics is a fundamental engineering course that describes the

properties of fluids, principles of fluids in static condition and motion, and the physical

processes involved in fluid flow through conduits. In particular, the fluid in focus for

this course is water for civil engineering applications. This course will introduce the

students to Newtonian and Non-newtonian fluids, the forces on a fluid in stationary

state (statics) with applications related to buoyancy as well as fluids in motion

(kinematics). Flow in conduits with application in pipe flow, will introduce the students

to Bernouli’s principle for steady-state applications. Energy equation will be discussed

with discussion about major and minor losses in pipes. Laboratory experiments will be

used to demonstrate the concepts discussed in the classroom. Numerical

computational models and software will also be used to apply the principles learned in

class. Sustainable engineering practices and global issues will be discussed.

IV. LAB INFORMATION Professional conduct is required in the laboratory to avoid safety violations. Online safety training is mandatory for all students. Instructions for completing the online safety training are provided here. Some of the important things to remember:

• No food or drink is allowed in the laboratory

• Pants, and closed toe shoes are required to enter the lab

• Missing lab without valid medical excuse will result in a

zero grade

• Missing more than two labs without valid medical excuse

will result in zero for the lab portion of your grade

• All lab reports are team reports unless specified

• Lab reports are due before each lab class

• Lab grade will be weighted based on the contribution percentage given by your

teammates

LAB REPORT All lab reports should include some or all the sections as specified by the lab report. 1. Letter of Transmittal – Sample letter of transmittal can be found here.

2. Abstract – A brief paragraph describing the details of the experiment and the

results.

3. Introduction – A general background should be presented here with relevant

citations for statements. The objective of the report needs to be at the end of this

section and it is usually one sentence describing the goal of the experiment.

4. Materials and methods – This section will include a list of all the materials and

instruments that were used in the experiment. The method of the experiment should

be presented in detail. If it is a software lab, the input parameters should be

discussed in this section. Any formulae used for generating results should be

presented here. All the parameters in the formulae should be explained in detail. All

the equations or formulae should be numbered.

5. Results and discussion – This section should include the results from the

experiment. The results should be discussed in detail and should refer to the

relevant formulae for calculations. Figures and tables should be accompanied with

results where necessary. The Figure captions go under the figure and Table

captions should go above the Table. Uncertainty and appropriate significant

figures should be used where necessary.

6. Conclusions – This section should briefly summarize the findings from the

experiment.

7. References – This section will contain the material used to write the lab report.

There is no preferred format for citation as long as it stays consistent throughout the

report.

VI. OTHER INFORMATION

PRESENTATIONS

At the end of the semester, the students will prepare a presentation on fluid

mechanics related project. These presentations will be 10 minutes long with an

additional 5 minutes allotted for questions. Some portion of the presentation grade will

come from peer-evaluations. The topics for presentation can be, not limited to, one of

the following:

• Crude oil transport pipes (transport of oil)

• Pipe networks (water distribution)

• Global economics of water (bottled water, sustainable solutions)

These presentations should pick a specific location for the problem, explain the

problem in that location and discuss how they address the problems.

DESIGN PROJECT

One design project will be assigned during the semester. The specific details

for the design project will be made available during the semester

HELPFUL TIPS

Here are some useful tips to be successful in this course:

• Try to complete the problems on your own instead of copying from the

whiteboard

• Complete all the problems assigned in class

• Re-do the problems on your own

• Do not hesitate to ask for help

• Most importantly, stay on top of things
