|Text: |A Brief Introduction to Fluid Mechanics (5th ed.), by D.F. Young, B.R. Munson, T.H. Okiishi, and W.W. Huebsch, John |

| |Wiley and Sons, 2011, |

| |ISBN 978-0-470-59679-1 |

|Catalog Description: Provides an introductory treatment of the dynamics of fluids, emphasizing incompressible fluids. Develops and applies hydrostatics, |

|thermodynamics, fluid characteristics, kinematics, and dynamics; methods of analysis including the infinitesimal and finite control volume; stress |

|rate-of-strain relations; and basic equations for continuity, energy, motion, and force-momentum. Measurement methods. |

|Course Objectives: Fluid mechanics is an extension of solid mechanics, taking into account differences in the relationships between stress and strain in |

|fluids, relative to solids, while developing the fluid equations of motion. Ideas of force and moment equilibrium, as developed in Mechanics, are |

|extended to fluid systems for both static and dynamic systems. The main goals of this course are to provide the fundamental basis for analysis of fluid |

|motion in further studies of fluids, hydraulics, and hydrologic engineering. Fundamental ideas of mass, momentum, and energy balances are developed to |

|solve a variety of problems. Emphasis is on understanding concepts and applying them to solve engineering problems. |

|Course Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: |

|Contribution of CIE 354 towards fulfillment of Student Outcomes (SOs) 3(a-k): |

| |

|Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering |

| |

|CIE 354 is an engineering problem solving course that builds upon a student’s background in mathematics and physics to form a linkage between abstract |

|concepts and physical problems common to engineering practice, with an emphasis on issues related to forces associated with static and moving water. |

| |

|(e) An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems |

| |

|Example problems demonstrated in class and provided in homework assignments encourage students to think beyond a simple mirroring of material presented in|

|lecture. Most problems cannot be solved simply by copying the solution of a previous problem. Instead, underlying concepts and problem solving |

|techniques are emphasized, to better prepare students to address a wide range of problems in their careers. As appropriate, ill-defined “real-world” |

|problems are introduced in a structured fashion to exemplify the application of basic principles to obtain solutions. |

| |

|(g) Communicate effectively |

| |

|Students are continually reminded that the quality of their engineering calculations is a statement of their regard for their profession, and grading on |

|homework is based at least partly on presentation. |

|Course Requirements: |There will be approximately 11 homework assignments, 3 midterm tests and a final. While attendance is not |

| |mandatory, students should recognize that class attendance is required to do well in the course. |

| | |

| |Homework: It is expected that students will do all homework individually unless instructed otherwise. Homework will |

| |be due in class typically one week after it is assigned. Specific dates will be posted on UBLearns when the homework|

| |is assigned. Late homework will be accepted up to 1 day (24 hours) late, with a 20% penalty and must be submitted |

| |directly to the instructor. If homework is due on a Friday, late homework must be submitted by 9:00 on the following|

| |Monday. Homework will not be accepted by fax or email except if approved in advance. Graded homework will be |

| |returned during the lecture period. After class, graded homework will be placed in the box labeled "CIE 354" outside|

| |207 Jarvis Hall. All homework assignments will be used in calculating the final grade, with the same weight assigned|

| |to each assignment. Individual arrangements will be made with students who have documented, legitimate absences |

| |which prevent them from submitting their homework on time such as an illness requiring a doctor's visit, an |

| |automobile accident, a family emergency, jury duty, participation in a sanctioned university activity. |

| | |

| |Exams: The midterms will be held in-class and will each be 50-minutes in length. The final will be 2-hours long. The|

| |final is scheduled for December 9, 2013. All tests should be taken at the announced time and place. Missed exams |

| |will be assigned a grade of zero unless an acceptable excuse is provided to the instructor prior to the exam. In |

| |cases of emergency, the instructor should be notified as soon as possible. Students with a legitimate absence will |

| |be given a make-up exam. |

|Grading Policy: |Final course grade shall be determined as follows: |

| |Midterm Tests 60% |

| |Homework 10% |

| |Final 30% |

| | |

| |Exact cutoffs for specific grades will depend on the level of difficulty of exams and homework assignments. These |

| |cutoffs will be determined once the final exam has been graded. However, the cutoffs will not exceed the following: |

| |Composite score    Guaranteed grade |

| |92%                             A |

| |82%                               B |

| |72%                               C |

| |60%                               D |

| |Grade ‘I’ will be strictly limited to the circumstances for which the incomplete is intended; namely, satisfactory |

| |work to date and legitimate inability to complete the work within the semester. See UB policy |

| |()  |

|Academic integrity: The University at Buffalo takes very seriously its commitment to principles of academic integrity. Please review the UB policies |

|regarding academic integrity regularly (). |

| |

|As an engineer, you have special ethical obligations. As per the NSPE Code of Ethics, “engineers shall avoid deceptive acts” and “shall conduct |

|themselves honorably, responsibly, ethically, and lawfully so as to enhance the honor, reputation, and usefulness of the profession.” For additional |

|information about the procedures in place within the CSEE department, see the academic integrity section of the departmental website |

|(). |

|Accessibility Resources: If you require classroom or testing accommodations due to a disability, please contact Accessibility Resources, located at 25 |

|Capen Hall. Accessibility Resources can be reached by phone at (716) 645-2608 or by email at stu-accessibility@buffalo.edu. Please inform me as soon as |

|possible about your needs so that we can coordinate your accommodations. For additional information see |

|Classroom “etiquette”: To provide an environment that is professional and conducive to learning, it is important that all students observe the following |

|classroom etiquette (modified from ) |

|Come to class on time. If you must enter a class late, do so quietly and do not disrupt the class by walking between the class and the instructor. Do not|

|leave class unless it is an absolute necessity. |

|Do not talk with other classmates while the instructor or another student is speaking |

|Turn off the electronics: cell phones, laptops, and beeper watches. |

|Avoid audible and visible signs of restlessness. These are both rude and disruptive. |

|Focus on class material during class time. Sleeping, talking to others, doing work for another class, reading the newspaper, checking email, and exploring|

|the internet are unacceptable and can be disruptive. |

|Do not pack bookbags or backpacks to leave until the instructor has dismissed class. |

|Students are expected to use professional style in all communications, including email, with course faculty and teaching assistants. This includes the use|

|of salutations and closings (including clear identification of the author) and correct grammar. |
