Course Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this course students will be able to:

1	Explain and apply pipeline network theory to the analysis of simple systems (pipes in parallel, and pipes in series), the three-reservoir problem and looped systems (using the Hardy-Cross method);
2	Explain and apply the steady-state theory of pumps to the analysis of pumping systems (e.g. pump and system curves, operating points, efficiency curves, dimensionless numbers, affinity laws);
3	Employ hydraulic distribution network software (e.g. EPANET 2.0) for the simulation of complex pipe systems (involving pipes, pumps, reservoirs, valves, storage tanks and time varying demands by extended period simulation);
4	Apply water engineering design principles to a semi-structured design problem (e.g. design of transmission, storage, and distribution system to satisfy comsumer demands, and hydraulic performance criteria) and write a comprehensive design report;
5	Explain fundamental physics of water hammer, and the application of mathematical techniques to analyse water hammer events (i.e. wave speed calculations, Joukowsky pressure rise, and the method of characteristics);
6	Explain and apply open channel flow theory to the analysis of gradually varied flow scenarios (prismatic and compound channels), hydraulic structures (weirs, spillways, and sluice gates), hydraulic jumps and channels involving a series of prismatic sections and hydraulic structures;
7	Undertake laboratory experiments (physical and virtual depending on COVID-19) on a range of hydraulic systems (flume, pump system, and pipe/open channel systems), and employ appropriate hydraulics theory to analyse measured data.

The above course learning outcomes are aligned with the Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competency Standard for the Professional Engineer.

The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

This assessment breakdown complies with the University's Assessment for Coursework Programs Policy.

This course has a hurdle requirement. Meeting the specified hurdle criteria is a requirement for passing the course.

Assessment Related Requirements

Students must obtain at least 40% for the average of the two quizzes (each one-hour in length) to be eligible to pass the course. Please be aware that you may be eligible for an academic replacement exam if you fail to meet this requirement. If a student sits a replacement exam on academic grounds, the final mark will be based on that examination only. Failure to demonstrate a necessary level of knowledge and understanding of the course material in the replacement exam will result in a fail grade.

It is mandatory to attend the scheduled laboratory sessions; students who miss a session due to illness should provide a medical certificate. Students MUST both attend all laboratory sessions and obtain at least an average of 50% for the laboratory reports to be eligible to pass the course. In case this requirement is not met, the student will be given the possibility to resubmit the insufficient reports: however, a maximum mark equal to 50% will be given for the laboratory component.

Applications for exemptions from portions of the course that a student has passed in the last five years must be applied for by the end of week 2 (5:00pm Friday). Exemptions WILL ONLY be given for Laboratories and/or Designs. A mark of 50% will be given as credit for the portions that exemptions are granted for.

Assessment Detail

Assignments:
For each of the three workshop assignments a list of questions will be set. The students will be given an assignment at regular intervals throughout the semester, and approximately two to three weeks to complete it. This will enable the student to access assistance within a workshop session for each assignment.

Laboratories:
4x2 hours of practicals (physical and virtual) will be undertaken in groups of 4 with individual reports to be submitted 2 weeks after the practical session. Students are expected to read the practical handout and a 1-page written summary of the practical is required to be submitted to the demonstrators at the beginning of each session. A 20% deduction of the final report mark will be deducted if no summary is given.

Design Project:
The design project will consist of group work during set weeks of the semester, with formal design sessions shown in the class timetable. Peer assessment will be conducted. Further details will be provided before the project commences.

Quizzes:
Two one-hour in-semester quizzes (weeks 9 and 13) will be held at the during Semester II. Each will be an open book quiz.

Replacement exams awarded on academic grounds will only be given in extraordinary circumstances. If a student sits for a replacement exam on academic grounds, the final mark will be based on the examination only.

Submission

Assignments, laboratory practicals and the project report have to be submitted electronically via MyUni. The penalty for late submissions of assignments, lab reports and design project is 10% per day or part thereof of being late. A late submission will only be allowed when a deferred deadline has been approved by the course coordinator prior to the due date because of medical or extenuating circumstances. Any requests for extensions must be communicated by email using the Application for Assessment Extenison form https://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/3303/?dsn=policy.document;field=data;id=7446;m=view

Final results for this course will be made available through Access Adelaide.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
