    Required Resources
    It is highly recommended to buy the text book:  Engineering Fluid Mechanics, 10th Edition, by Donald F. Elger, Barbara C. Williams, Clayton T. Crowe, and John A. Roberson, John Wiley and Sons Inc.

    Other versions of the text book e.g. 10th US or SI units, 9th or 11th may be used instead. However please note the 11th is available in Loose Leaf only - which is not properly bound, and you cannot take electronic versions into the exam. 

    You will be expected to read the text as this is an important source of material from which you will learn. Assignment and tutorial questions will be taken from the recommended version (However a pdf of questions will be made avialable for those will other versions). For many assignment questions you will need to read thoroughly the Chapter from which the questions are taken. The exam is restricted open book and the text book by Elger is one of the items that you can take into the exam. The textbook may be purchased at the 最新糖心Vlog Bookshop (or elsewhere). An electronic version is available, however please note that you cannot access electronic materials in the exam. 

    The other item that may be taken into the exam is the set of notes: Water Distribution Systems Engineering by Angus Simpson, Chapters 1 to 6. Access will be detailed on myuni. 

    Recommended Resources
    Another book allowed in the exam is the “Flow in Open Channels” by K. Subramanya (3rd edition). This book is only recommended and not required for the course.

    Additional recommended books (not allowed in the exam) are:
    - Streeter and Wylie: Fluid Mechanics. SI Version
    - Hunter Rouse: Engineering Hydraulics
    - Hunter Rouse and Simon Ince: History of Hydraulics (for interest)

    Online Learning
    Additional resources such as assignments, tutorial questions and the design project will be provided on MyUni. Students are expected to regularly check on MyUni for course announcements and utilise the Discussion Board for additional contact.

    Tutorial sheets, laboratory and design resources will be provided electronically in an effort to reduce the amount of paper waste generated throughout the semester. Students may print their own copies or use the resources online.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
