Civil Engineering students at Montana State University all take a first course in Fluid Mechanics, then a junior level “water resources” course (typically using a text such as Linsley & Franzini “Water Resources Engineering”). From there they take one or more senior elective “applied hydraulics” classes, which include a “closed conduit flow” (affectionately referred to by students as “pipes and pumps”) and an “open channel hydraulics” class. My teaching assignments at MSU over the years have usually included one or more of these “fluids” or “water” courses, so I have participated in and been awed by the evolution of new teaching methods in my chosen areas of expertise. |
