About the Course

Fluid power has the highest power density of all conventional power-transmission technologies. Learn the benefits and limitations of fluid power, how to analyze fluid power components and circuits, and how to design and simulate fluid power circuits for applications. In this course, you will be introduced to the fundamental principles and analytical modeling of fluid power components, circuits, and systems. You will learn the benefits and limitations of fluid power compared with other power transmission technologies; the operation, use, and symbols of common hydraulic components; how to formulate and analyze models of hydraulic components and circuits; and how to design and predict the performance of fluid power circuits. This course is supported by the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power, and is endorsed by the National Fluid Power Association, the leading industry trade group in fluid power....

This course provides a great overview of the basics of fluid power systems and would be valuable to any student or early-career learner looking to get more familiar with some of the concepts of hydraulics and pneumatics. The lecture content is great, and the field trips to show fluid power in action are very informative and interesting.

Where this course lacks is in the discussion page. There are no course mentors to help you when you have a question, and so if you get stuck on a homework or quiz problem you have to hope that another student can help you (improbable), Other than that a good course.

Instructors were good. They were very knowledgeable. The real world examples were nice. Gets the basics of hydraulics well. Only complaint is the slides and textbook don't cover all the information.
