Fluid Mechanics being a fundamental subject, faculties are expected to lay considerable stress on understanding the basic concepts, principles and their applications. For this purpose, faculties are expected to give simple problems in the class room so as to develop necessary knowledge for comprehending the basic concepts and principles. As far as possible, the teaching of the subject be supplemented by demonstrations and practical work in the laboratory. Visit to hydraulic research stations must be carried out.
