B. Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes 1. Course Description
The role of the course is to introduce concepts and quantitative techniques for the study of Fluid Mechanics and to introduce different types of flow.
2. Course Main Objective
The primary objective of the course is to introduce students to the concepts of different fluids properties, kinematics, and physical problems. In addition students will introduced to the concept of conservation laws. Among the objectives we can cite the understanding of the different types of fluid flows
3. Course Learning Outcomes

*Assessment task (i.e., written test, oral test, oral presentation, group project, essay, etc.) E. Student Academic Counseling and Support
Arrangements for availability of faculty and teaching staff for individual student consultations and academic advice :
Each group of students is assigned to a faculty member where he or she will provide academic advising. All faculty members are required to be in their offices outside teaching hours. Each faculty member allocates at least 4 hours per week to give academic advice and to answer to the questions of students about concepts studied during the lectures.
