Applied Fluid Mechanics prepares you to design and analyze practical fluid flow systems. Taking a problem-solving approach, the text ties theory to the real devices and systems used in a range of engineering fields. Complementary access to PIPE-FLO® modeling software gives you realistic practice.
Key problem-solving procedures are provided in a step-by-step format. This approach helps students recognize what's known and unknown and then identify a solution. Computer-based assignments at the end of many chapters can be solved using a variety of techniques and software.
For GEOL1125, PETE1150, and CHME2350: TI-83, TI-83+, TI-84, and TI-84+ are all acceptable
For MATH1172 and MATH2272: This calculator is ONLY ACCEPTABLE if your program also uses it in another course. If not, you must use the Sharp EL-W516XG calculator instead.
Landscape Architectural Technology students: this item is included inside your Landscape Architecture Student Supply Kit. You do not need to purchase this item individually if you have already purchased the kit.
Students require a computer, laptop, or tablet that meets or exceeds the minimum requirements specified by their program. Students should reach out to their program for these specs.
The expected cost for your required computer will depend on your program's exact specifications. Note that many programs at NAIT use software that is compatible only with Windows operating systems and not Apple/Mac. It is highly recommended that you get in touch with your program and confirm a Mac is usable with your program's necessary software before purchasing any Apple products.
You may also require other peripherals, such as a webcam, microphone, standalone mouse, digital pen, portable monitor, etc.
The device will be used in multiple courses throughout your entire program. If you have any questions about the device requirements, please contact your program.
