KB4027 Course Work Details and Specifications Please note that this coursework has a weighting of 30% for the module It is made up of two parts:- Part A - Fluid Mechanics (15% weighting) Part B - Soil Mechanics (15% weighting) FLUID MECHANICS (15%) Department of Mechanical and Construction Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Environment Coursework Specification Module Information 1 1.1 Module Title 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 Introduction to Fluid Mechanics and Soil Mechanics Module Code Number KB4027 Module Level and Credit Points 74 20 Module Leader Xiaohui Qi Assessment Component Number (on Module Specification) 001 1.6 Assessment Weighting (on Module Specification) 1.7 15% Coursework Title Fluid Mechanics Laboratory 1.8 Coursework Specification Author 1.9 Professor Martin Crapper Academic Year and Semester(s) 2023-24 2 2 Coursework Submission and Feedback 24 2.1 Release Date of Coursework Specification to Students tbc 2.2 Mechanism Used to Disseminate Coursework Specification to Students 2.3 Blackboard Date and Time of Submission of Coursework by Students tbc 2.4 The mechanism for Submission of Coursework by Students Blackboard vrrs Northumbria University NEWCASTLE 2.5 2.6 Return Date of Unconfirmed Internally Moderated Mark(s) and Feedback to Students tbc The mechanism for Return of Unconfirmed Internally Moderated Mark(s) and Feedback to Students Blackboard MCE | Learning and Teaching Version 2.0 | Page 1 of 6 3 Assessment Details 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 Module Learning Outcomes (MLOs) Assessed by Coursework 3. Plot and discuss experimental results and draw conclusions based upon them. 4. Work as a member of a small team in order to safely carry out laboratory testing and respect the values of other team members. Coursework Overview You are required to carry a range of fluid mechanics experiments, record and plot their results and write a brief discussion of their meaning, relating them to the theoretical concepts discussed in the module classes. Coursework Tasks to be Completed by Students • Attend the laboratory at the time specified on the timetable, bringing with you all necessary information and handouts, either printed out or in usable electronic form • Sign the paper attendance list • • • Listen to the safety briefing given by laboratory staff at the start of the class Prepare your own risk assessment for the class and implement the control measures you specify (and any additional ones required by laboratory staff) Working in a small group, conduct the following experiments, recording their results: Flow measurement о Impact of a jet о Friction in a pipe Details for which are included in the separate one-page handouts • • In each case, prepare a short report containing о Your risk assessment о • о A careful hand-sketch of the apparatus, drawn in proportion and with important features labelled A table and an accompanying plot of results in an appropriate form. This may be prepared using software such as Excel or Matlab, but must be legible in printed-out form. A brief discussion indicating How the results illustrate theoretical concepts discussed in class Where the results diverge from expectations, suggestions as to the likely reasons for this The report for each experiment should contain one page of risk assessment, one page of sketch, one page of tabulated results and graph and a short paragraph of discussion concisely highlighting significant issues Scan and submit your work to Blackboard as a single PDF document by the submission date advertised. Expected Size of Submission A maximum of 1250 word equivalents. 3.5 Referencing Style 3.6 You are to write your coursework using the Cite Them Right version of the Harvard referencing system. An online guide to Cite Them Right is freely available to Northumbria University students at: https://www.citethemrightonline.com/ Use of Artificial Intelligence You may use generative artificial intelligence (AI), e.g. tools like ChatGPT, to assist in analyses and draw insights from data as part of the research process. You may also use these technologies to improve readability and language when writing. Applying the technology should be done with human oversight and control, and you should carefully review and edit the result, as Al can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased. Al and Al-assisted technologies should not be listed as an author or co-author, or be cited as an author. Authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans. MCE | Learning and Teaching Version 2.0 | Page 2 of 6 You must disclose the use of generative Al and Al-assisted technologies by adding the following statement at the beginning of your work. Statement: During the preparation of this work I used [NAME TOOL / SERVICE] in order to [REASON]. After using this tool/service, I reviewed and edited the content as needed and take full responsibility for the content. Failure to do so may lead to an Academic Misconduct investigation. This declaration does not apply to the use of basic tools for checking grammar, spelling, references etc. If there is nothing to disclose, there is no need to add a statement. 3.7 Assessment Criteria MCE | Learning and Teaching Version 2.0 | Page 3 of 6/n KB4027 Course Work Details and Specifications Please note that this coursework has a weighting of 30% for the module It is made up of two parts:- Part A - Fluid Mechanics (15% weighting) Part B - Soil Mechanics (15% weighting) FLUID MECHANICS (15%) Department of Mechanical and Construction Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Environment Coursework Specification Module Information 1 1.1 Module Title 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 Introduction to Fluid Mechanics and Soil Mechanics Module Code Number KB4027 Module Level and Credit Points 74 20 Module Leader Xiaohui Qi Assessment Component Number (on Module Specification) 001 1.6 Assessment Weighting (on Module Specification) 1.7 15% Coursework Title Fluid Mechanics Laboratory 1.8 Coursework Specification Author 1.9 Professor Martin Crapper Academic Year and Semester(s) 2023-24 2 2 Coursework Submission and Feedback 24 2.1 Release Date of Coursework Specification to Students tbc 2.2 Mechanism Used to Disseminate Coursework Specification to Students 2.3 Blackboard Date and Time of Submission of Coursework by Students tbc 2.4 The mechanism for Submission of Coursework by Students Blackboard vrrs Northumbria University NEWCASTLE 2.5 2.6 Return Date of Unconfirmed Internally Moderated Mark(s) and Feedback to Students tbc The mechanism for Return of Unconfirmed Internally Moderated Mark(s) and Feedback to Students Blackboard MCE | Learning and Teaching Version 2.0 | Page 1 of 6 3 Assessment Details 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 Module Learning Outcomes (MLOs) Assessed by Coursework 3.
