Course Objective	Competencies	
1.	Develop engineering analytical skills, and relate them to fluid systems.

2.	Introduce physical concepts of hydrostatic pressure, hydrostatic forces, continuity, energy, and energy losses.

3.	Familiarize the student with closed conduit flow systems and their components.

4.	Teach hydrologic theory related to rainfall, runoff, and analytical prediction techniques.

	1.	Sketch a problem, identify the governing equations, and make all necessary unit conversions.
2.	Properly solve the equations using proper units.

1.	Determine pressures and forces on flat surfaces for a variety of fluids.
2.	Solve flow problems solving for velocities flow rate, and determine pipe size.
3.	Size a pump in a real flow system where all energy losses are considered.

1.	Learn the function of different types of valves.
2.	Design a pipe system with valves properly located.
3.	Use different types of pipe in system design.
