Hydraulics Laboratory is a 1-credit laboratory course comprised of hands-on experiments related to the concepts learned in Hydraulics (CE34000). This course can be taken either concurrently or after you take Hydraulics (CE34000). Hydraulics Laboratory has weekly 3 hour labs with companion exercises that involve data collection, data analysis and graphing, uncertainty, and technical communication. You will generally write 2 “formal reports” during the semester in which you synthesize the results of an experiment into polished technical documents. Laboratory experiments typically include: manometers; flow visualization; flow in pipes; drag on objects; and more. This course is required of all undergraduate Purdue Civil Engineers, with a grade of C- or better.
