Objectives
To learn the fundamental and the most important concepts of Fluid Mechanics. To learn and to know how to apply the principles of mass conservation, impulse and energy in Fluid Mechanics.
To know the different ways in which these principles are formulated both in integral formulation and in differential.
As an ultimate objective (and along with Fluid Mechanics II) it is aimed that the students acquire the ability to resolve concrete problems of Fluid Mechanics in any Engineering area and more specifically in mechanical engineering.

Eligibility for exams
The student cannot exceed the absence limit allowed (25%), accordingly to the current rules.
Favorable information of the practical classes, resulting from the effective participation in class.
Calculation formula of final grade
(A) 2 evaluation tests to be done throughout the semester (20%)
(B) 1 final exam (80%)
Every test will be graded from 0 to 20.
FINAL GRADE = 0.2 A + 0.8 B
The final grade based on the re-sit exam may be determined as mentioned above or using only the classification of that exam (according to the student’s choice).
Examinations or Special Assignments
Participating and doing one laboratory assignment
