Course Objectives		To provide to students laboratory experience in fluid dynamics, structural mechanics and electrical systems and controls. To improve students’ team work ability.
Course Description		Performing six well-planned experiments in Fluid Dynamics, Structures and Electrical Systems and Controls. Formulation and design of laboratory experiments to address problems or topics of student's choice on fluid mechanics and aerodynamics through open-ended planning, including decision criteria for laboratory techniques and approaches.
Course Outcomes		On completing this course students should be able to, 1. Use library sources effectively to make literature survey and relate existing studies with their project. (a1,e1,f1,h1,i2,j2,k2) 2. Design an experimental setup; decide on the measurement system depending on requirements and run the experiment. (a2,b3,c3,e2,k2) 3. Perform team work, discuss experimental results. (d2,f2,g3,h1) 4. Run experiments and gain knowledge on jet flows, boundary layer flows, flow around cylinder, pipe flow and supersonic flow; define experimental conditions. (a2,b3,e1) 5. Carry out analysis of experimental data and by presenting results in appropriate plots. (a2,b3,e2,k2) 6. Use Bernoulli’s Equation to obtain velocity information from a measured pressure difference.(a2,e1,k1) 7. Calculate pressure drag acting on a body by using surface pressure distribution. (a2,e1,k1) 8. Obtain stress and strain diagrams from tension test results. (a2,e1,k1) 9. Have knowledge on choosing a proper measurement system by considering their advantages and disadvantages. (a1,b3,c2,e2,k1) 10. Write experimental report with ethical responsibility; make an oral presentation of a designed and conducted experiment. (f3,g3,k2)
