LABORATORIES: 13510: M
There will be four laboratory experiments, each spread over a two-week period. The lab sections will be split into two subsections to do each experiment, with one subsection doing the experiment the first week, and the other subsection doing it the second week. The normal class time of 75 minutes is reduced to 60 minutes to allow for the extra time involved in attending the laboratory and preparing laboratory reports.
OBJECTIVES: This course is designed to present:
§ Water flow through pipe and pumping systems
§ Water flow through open channels and hydraulic structures
§ A brief introduction to hydrology
PREREQUISITES: CE 319F
COMPUTER: Proficiency with computers and familiarity with a spreadsheet program like Excel is expected.
TEXT: The required text is “Fundamentals of Hydraulic Engineering Systems” by Hwang and Houghtalen, 3rd Ed., Prentice Hall, 1996.
Other materials (e.g., homework solutions) will be distributed or put on reserve in the Engineering Library.
CLASS FORMAT: Lectures supplemented with outside reading, homework, and exams.
CLASS OUTLINE: See attached.
GRADING: Quizzes, 2 @ 20% = 40%
Homework = 15%
Laboratory = 15%
Final Exam = 30%
Any problems, personal or otherwise, affecting grades should be brought to the instructor's attention.
HOMEWORK POLICY: Homework assignments are due in by 5PM on the day assigned. There is a box outside my door in ECJ 8.6 for turning in assignments after the class hour, if necessary. Homework must be done on clean paper, stapled in the top left corner, have your name in the top right corner, and your name, class and assignment number written on the outside when the homework is folded in half.
EXAMINATIONS: There will be two 75 minute inclass
examinations and the final examination. Each examination will be closed book,
although you will be allowed a 1-page review sheet, and will be given on the
date and time indicated. Missed examinations may be made up only if the reason
for missing was illness or some other emergency. Final Exam is scheduled to
be given on Monday May 17,
EVALUATION: The University Measurement and Evaluation Center forms will be used during the last week of class to evaluate the course and the instructor.
DISHONESTY: University procedures will be followed in dealing with cases of suspected scholastic dishonesty.
ATTENDANCE: Regular class attendance is expected in accordance with The University's General Information catalog and the College of Engineering policy (see the section on Attendance in the Undergraduate Catalog).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The University of Texas at Austin provides upon request appropriate academic adjustments for qualified students with disabilities. For more information, contact the Office of the Dean of Students at 471-6259, 471-4241 TDD or the College of Engineering Director of Students with Disabilities at 471-4321.
