COURSE SYNOPSIS
This course consists of fundamental of
fluid mechanics and fluid power system.
Fundamental of fluid mechanics includes
properties of fluid, fluid in static and fluid
in motion. Fluid power system includes
fluid power principles, devices, materials,
hydraulic and pneumatic systems with an
emphasis on pumps, compressors, motors
and actuators.

COURSE OUTCOMES
CO1 : Comprehend the fundamental of fluid
mechanics and fluid power, including properties
of fluid, fluid flow, hydraulic system and
pneumatic system
CO2 :Apply the Bernoullis equation and energy
equation to solve problems in fluid mechanics.
CO3 :Sketch and construct basic pneumatic and
hydraulic circuits, as well as construct
experimental techniques in order to understand
the fundamental concept of fluid mechanics
CO4 : Demonstrate theoretical and experimental
data in spoken presentation and written lab
report
