Schedule

• Lecture slides are outlines only, as detailed in the syllabus. Some students like to use the slides as a background to write their own notes on.
• Reading: “T” refers to textbook, “H” to handout, and “NCFMF” are videos from the National Committee for Fluid Mechanics Films.
• Homework assignments are listed on the day assigned and are due one week later (Wednesday before midnight via Learning Suite).
• Self-grading reports are due two days after the homework (Friday before midnight via Learning Suite). Homework solutions/rubrics are posted next to the homework. Further details on self-grading are here.
• Quizzes are on Learning Suite and are available after class on Fridays. They cover the material of that past week, and are due before class the following Friday.
• Project guidelines are available here.
• Deadlines for every assignment are also listed on Learning Suite.
• Password-protected items Some handouts and solutions contain items that cannot be distributed beyond the class. Those are marked with a star, and will require authentication in order to download.
