1. Able to observe a pipeline's laminar and turbulent flow and understand each flow's characteristics. Able to measure a pipeline discharge and calculate the Reynolds number from experimental data.
2. Able to understand measurement methods of discharge in an open channel. Able to measure velocities and water depths using some instruments and estimate discharge using these data.
3. Able to understand each phenomenon of open channel flow: subcritical flow, supercritical flow, and hydraulic jump, and conduct flume experiments.
4. Understand and conduct experiments related to dissolved oxygen (DO) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD).
5. Understand and conduct experiments related to pH.
Outline:
In the first semester, learners conduct flume experiments using knowledge learned in each Hydraulics and Hydraulic Engineering class. Learners aim to obtain knowledge and techniques of flow patterns, some methods of flow measurement by using instruments, and some calculation methods.
In the second semester, learners conduct experiments on water quality using knowledge learned in Environmental Engineering class. Learners will understand deeply techniques that help environmental protection by obtaining knowledge of methods for understanding a water quality environment quantitatively through experiments.
Style:
Step 1: The teachers explain the outline of each experiment.
Step 2: The teachers give the pre-investigation items. Learners investigate these items and write a report with students of the same group. Learners obtain knowledge and techniques of essential measurement and calculation methods through these tasks before conducting experiments.
Step 3: Learners conduct experiments in a group.
Step 4: Learners take the final examinations of each semester to confirm the achievement level of the course objectives.
(The learning time: 60 hours, The self-study time: 30 hours)
Notice:
Wear suitable clothing and shoes for the experiment. Although learners will not handle dangerous things, please be careful during experiments. Moreover, learners have to handle experimental instruments carefully. Please bring a calculator to every class because learners will conduct many calculations to prepare reports. Learners have to observe the deadline for submitting the reports.
