Undergraduate Fluid Mechanics Laboratory Improvement for Civil and Other Engineering Students

一个改进本科流体力学实验室的项目正在实施中。该项目的目标将分两个阶段实现。第一是弥合流体力学课程所教授的材料和实验室教学之间的差距，这是第二阶段的先决条件，在第二阶段，实验室在其他几门流体力学-水力学相关课程的背景下发挥更大的作用。这些目标是一个主要项目的一部分，该项目致力于个人参与和学生参与强调基础知识的实验室体验。使用多用途和紧凑型设备单元可望基本实现第一阶段的目标，部分实现第二阶段的目标。计划用五年时间完成项目总体目标。

A project to improve the undergraduate Fluid Mechanics Laboratory is being implemented. The objectives of the project are to be achieved in two stages. The first is to bridge the gap between the materials taught in fluid mechanics course and the laboratory instruction as a prerequisite for the second stage where the laboratory takes an enlarged role in the context of several other fluid mechanics- hydraulics related courses. These objectives are part of a major program committed to individual involvement and student participation in the laboratory experience emphasizing fundamentals. The use of multipurpose and compact units of equipment is expected to fulfill the objective of the first stage substantially and the second stage partially. It is planned to complete the overall objectives of the project in five years.
