Fluid Mechanics Learning Modules

The following learning modules are listed in the order in which they are taught by Professor John M. Cimbala at Penn State University. These modules are meant to be self-taught, self-paced learning tools, some with on-line quizzes, which are supplements to the textbook and lectures of a typical undergraduate course in fluid mechanics.
