8 Course Description This course focuses on the knowledge and practice of hydraulic engineering. It deals with the
basic principles of hydraulics with their applications in civil engineering. In particular, it deals with
the translation and rotation of liquid masses, Bernoulli’s Theorem and Hydro-kinetics, Measurement of fluid flows by orifices, tubes, and weirs, fluid flow in pipes, flow in open channels, and hydrodynamics. 9 Program Learning Outcomes As a result of their educational experiences at the Civil Engineering Program, graduates
should be able to:
PLO 1: Solve civil engineering problems by applying relevant theorems and principles of
mathematics, physical sciences, engineering sciences, and allied courses. PLO 2: Utilize civil engineering equipment and/or computer-based simulation and
computational software in the design of real world civil engineering systems. PLO 3: Design and perform experiments to test relevant parameters of civil engineering
systems and establish significant conclusions based on the correct analysis and evaluation
of collected data. PLO 4: Communicate in oral and in written form with sufficient content, proper structure, and articulate delivery across a wide range of audience, venues, and media. PLO 5: Apply acquired technical knowledge and skills in possible fields of employment
namely: Structural Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Transportation Engineering, and Construction Technology and Management
PLO 6: Design civil engineering systems, or processes based on established policies, guidelines, laws, and standards. PLO 7: Incorporate the effects of current trends, and contemporary issues in the design
of civil engineering systems.

PLO 8: Research and develop new civil engineering systems, or innovate from existing
civil technologies. PLO 9: Contribute civil engineering solutions to problems in the community considering
social, environmental, and economic dimensions. PLO 10: Pursue continuing professional development and competence in their chosen
field of specialization. PLO 11: Collaborate with a team of individuals from a wide range of educational, cultural, and technical backgrounds. PLO 12: Exhibit professionalism, ethical behaviour, and Christian values in all inter-personal
and social dealings. 10 Course Learning Outcomes As a result of their educational experiences in the subject CE 413, graduates should be able to:
CLO 1: Describe and explain the behavior of liquid masses when subjected to translation and
rotation. CLO 2: Derive and apply the Bernoulli’s energy theorem in the field of civil engineering like
water supply, wells, and low measurements like Venturi meters and Pitot tubes. CLO 3: Analyze and solve problems of orifices, tubes and weirs for flow measurements
including the effects of head losses. CLO 4: Explain the fluid flow in pipes, loss of head formulas, pipes in series, pipes in parallel, pipe networks, branching pipes connecting three reservoirs, hydraulic and energy gradients. CLO 5: Explain the principles behind the flow in open channels and solve related and
practical problems like alternate stages of flow, hydraulic jump, critical depth of flow, and
various cross sections. CLO 6: Derive and apply the principles of most efficient sections in open channels. CLO 7: Solve problems about hydrodynamics like the force exerted by jets, work done on
moving vanes, and force exerted on closed channels. CLO 8: Apply the principles of hydraulics in the civil engineering branches namely irrigation, water supply, sewerage, sanitary engineering, ports, and harbors. 11. Alignment of Course Learning Outcomes with the SLU Graduate Attributes
