Learning outcomes and graduate attributes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

GA1: Intellectual rigour, GA2: Creativity, GA3: Ethical practice, GA4: Knowledge of a discipline, GA5: Lifelong learning, GA6: Communication and social skills, GA7: Cultural competence
Learning outcome count Learning outcome description GA1 GA2 GA3 GA4 GA5 GA6 GA7
1 understand the physical and mathematical foundations of fluid mechanics
2 perform basic calculations to analyse fluid flow systems
3 determine when viscous and compressible effects are important in fluid flows and how to use dimensional analysis for categorisation of flows
4 design industrial systems involving fluid flow
5 make measurements in fluid flows
6 develop skills in effectively and safely using laboratory equipment in a team environment for experimental investigation of fluid flow phenomena, and in reporting findings
7 understand the application of fluid mechanics in mechanical engineering professional practice.
