Observation and understanding of flow phenomena in the laboratory with simultaneous development of measurement skills.
Learning Outcomes
Students should be able to:
1. Be familiar with basic health and safety issues in a laboratory.
2. Carry out laboratory measurements in experimental exercises on Fluid Mechanics topics.
3. Estimate, calculate and process experimental errors resulting in an experimental procedure.
4. Prepare a technical report that presents briefly but comprehensive, the experimental procedure that was performed. Technical report should present the experimental measurements their processing and the main conclusions arising from them.
5. Aware of the importance and practical application examples of experimental results.
