3.1 Mechanics of Fluids

3.2 Hydraulics

3.3 Geotechnical Engineering – Soil Mechanics

3.4 Geotechnical Engineering – Foundation Engineering

Duration: 30 hours

Introduction

This module will serve as a reviewer for the Civil Engineering Licensure Examination. It

contains a compilation of useful formulas for the subjects of Mechanics of Fluids,

Hydraulics, Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering. It is worth noting that this

module will only contain a summarized style of presentation as this subject, CE

Correlation, contains all the topic discussed in the whole Civil Engineering course,

therefore the sheer amount of topics if it is not summarized, will make this unnecessarily

long.

Objectives

1. To be able solve problems in the Civil Engineering Licensure Examination in the

subjects of;

2. Mechanics of Fluids,

3. Hydraulics,

4. Soil Mechanics and

5. Foundation Engineering
