Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:	The course objective of fluid mechanics is to provide students with a fundamental understanding of the behavior of fluids, both at rest and in motion. It aims to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to analyze and solve problems related to fluids in various engineering and scientific applications.
Course Content:	Fluid Mechanics is a fundamental course in engineering and physics that focuses on the study of fluids and their behavior. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the principles governing the motion and flow of fluids, including liquids and gases. This course combines theoretical concepts with practical applications to analyze and solve problems related to fluid dynamics.

Learning Outcomes
