Practice courses seek to develop basic competencies and attributes commensurate with the intuitive and professional skills sought in engineering graduates. This course provides a broad introduction to the practical aspects of water engineering and focuses on the development of analytical, manual, diagnostic, communication and group interaction skills.

This course covers a range of experimental activities in the area of Hydraulics. Students will conduct testing and experimental work in a team environment in the Laboratory and/or remotely via internet access. Students will then analyse and present the subsequent results on an individual basis. Laboratory sessions provide for a better understanding of relevant theory and calibration techniques for flow measuring devices through hands on experience.

This course contains a mandatory residential school for external students and mandatory on-campus laboratories for on-campus students.

The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course. On completion of this course students will be able to:

1. conduct experiments to verify common fundamental principles relating to fluid statics and fluid flow in pipelines and channels;
2. analyse and present experimental data to a suitable engineering standard.
3. demonstrate an appreciation of appropriate safety procedures and workplace health and safety requirements;
4. work effectively as a member, participating in completing tasks, and supporting others in achievement of team goals;
5. undertake critical self-review and performance evaluation against course objectives as a primary means of tracking personal development needs and achievements.
