| Academic Unit: | Civil Engineering |
| Mode of Delivery: | Face to face |
| Prerequisites: | - |
| Language of Instruction: | English |
| Level of Course Unit: | Undergraduate |
| Course Coordinator: | - - |
| Course Objectives: | The aim of this course is to discuss the basic principles of hydraulics with students and apply these principles to hydraulic problems in Civil Engineering. |
| Course Contents: | Pipe flows and energy losses (Module 1)
Pipe flows and pipe networks (Module 2) Open channel flows and uniform flow (Module 3) Open channel flows and fast changing regimes (Module 4) Open channel flows and slow changing regimes (Module 5) |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit (LO): |
|
| Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods: | A total of 5 projects, which include laboratory work, interpretation of laboratory results, literature review calculations, presentations and writing reports The course consists of 4 modules. In each module consisting of 2 or 3 weeks, after the first week lecture, comprehension of the concepts is ensured by means of applications (experiments or observations). Finally, students are asked to explain the concepts they learned in each module by applying them on a project. The weight of the applications in the course evaluation is 10% and the project is 15%. In the project evaluation, 10% grade is given by the lecturer as project report and presentation evaluation, while 5% is given as peer evaluation. |
