This course allows students to explore importance and purposes of irrigation and drainage in achieving sustainable agriculture. It also guides students in the engineering design principles involved in addressing challenges in deficit and excess water in crop production. Using design and futures thinking, students harness the trends of technologies in designing irrigation and drainage systems.

Fluid Mechanics is the study of fluids at rest (fluid statics) and in motion (fluid dynamics). A fluid is defined as a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress regardless of the magnitude of the applied stress. Whereas a solid can resist an applied force by static deformation.
