All other lectures will only be available to those who attend lecture.



TA Problem Solving Session:

    There will be weekly discussion sessions to discuss student questions and solve sample problems. Attendance is strongly encouraged.


Course Objectives:
  1. To teach students the basic principles underlying internal and external flow of viscous fluids and compressible flow.
  2. To train students to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems concerning internal, external and compressible flows.
  3. To encourage students to consider professional responsibility and engineering ethics.

Textbook: Fluid Mechanics 6th Edition by Frank M. White, McGraw-Hill, 2008.

Grading:

    Homework (lowest dropped)       15%
    Midterm 1                                20%
    Midterm 2                                20%
    Final                                       45%

Performance Criteria:

    The performance criteria for the described objectives are evaluated with the grading breakdown listed above.

Homework:


  • Homework will be assigned each week and collected on specified due date. Late homework will not be accepted under any circumstances.
  • Homework should be submitted at the beginning of class (front table in classroom) on due date. If lecture has begun, do not disturb lecture. Wait until after lecture is over to submit! Homework is considered late after Prof. has left the classroom.   
  • Homework will be completed following the criteria found above.

Exams:

  • Two midterms will be given in class on April 22 and May 15. The final will be on June 9th. There will be no make-up or rescheduled exams.
  • All exams are closed book, closed notes. Calculator can be used only for arithmetic.

Re-grade policy:

  • Homework and exam re-grades will be considered only during office hours.
  • Homework and exam re-grade requests must include a written statement detailing the justification for the re-grade (be sure to indicate on statement: name, date, e-mail address)
  • Re-grades will not be accepted beyond 1 week after return of homework and exams.


Academic/Professional Integrity:

  • All students are expected to know their responsibilities and uphold the standards of academic honesty and engineering professionalism. Students are encouraged to discuss course topics and homework with each other to assist in learning. However each student must do and submit their own work on all homework assignments, and exams. Submitted work that is copied or taken from an unauthorized source (e.g., another student's work) or performed using unauthorized resources is considered cheating. Academic misconduct will have serious penalties and be reported to university administration. Refer to UCSD website for details: UCSD Policy on Integrity of Scholarship.
