OVERVIEW OF CHE413
This course is a core subject in most
engineering disciplines. The chapters in
this course focus on several important
topics related to fluid dynamics. It is
designed to provide the students with the
principles of fluid flow through flow
meters and pipes. Common rotating
devices such as pumps and compressor
are also introduced.

CO and PO matters
PO1- Ability to identify and apply knowledge
of mathematics, basic and applied science,
engineering fundamentals and specialization
to solve including complex engineering
problem
PO2- Ability to identify, formulate and solve
engineering problems, including complex
engineering problems using the principles of
mathematics, basic and applied science and
engineering fundamentals,

CO and PO matters
CO1-

Explain the fundamental aspects

of fluid mechanics.
CO2Apply the principle of fluid
mechanics to solve problems related to
various flow situations.
CO3- Evaluate the problems related to
fluid flow in solving engineering
problems.

CLASS ATTENDANCE POLICY

Each

student is compulsory (100%) to attend all classes including

lectures, tutorials, laboratories, and fieldwork for each registered class,
including the first class session, in order to verify registration with
instructors, and to complete all work assigned for the course.

If

students do not attend 20% of the classes and do not give prior
notification to the instructor of reasons for absence and intent to
attend the class, the student shall be bar from the final exam.

Instructors

of courses are not obligated to provide make-up

opportunities for students who are absent, unless the absence
has been officially approved. An officially approved absence, however,
merely gives the individual who missed the class an opportunity to make
up the work and in no way excuses him from the work.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY

Statement on Academic Dishonesty:

Cheating on exams and plagiarism in the preparation
of homework will be considered unacceptable conduct.
Academic sanctions will be taken against all parties
involved in the act of cheating and/or plagiarism. A
student participating in the act of cheating and/or
plagiarism will receive a failing grade in this class.

The following illustrates major four forms of academic

dishonesty:
1. Plagiarism, e.g. the submission of work that is not one's
own or for which other credit has been obtained.
2. The altering or falsification of laboratory data.
3. Improper collaboration in group work.
4. Copying or using unauthorized aids in tests and
examinations.
