Overview:
This laboratory practices conduct basic experiments related to hydraulics. By visually observing and measuring hydraulic phenomena, students will deepen their understanding of hydraulics learned in lectures and learn experimental methods as well.
The goal:
Students understand the details of hydraulics theory through measuring and analyzing experimental data. Each student makes a report based on the insights gained from discussions within the experimental group.

The reports and other submitted materials will be evaluated, and a total score of 60 points or higher will be considered passing
this experimental lecture. If there is one unsubmitted item in the experiment report, it will be graded C. If two or more
things are not submitted, it will be graded D. Attendance of 80% or more in the experiment is a requirement for evaluation.
