Abstract : In a laboratory environment a c o m p r e h e n s i v e d i s c u s s i o n a b o u t t h e j e t characteristics where students can visualize the characteristics, pattern of the jet flow. A project-based learning approach is adopted to make students understanding better about the jet phenomenon. A novel experiment set up is established. Hydraulic analogy concept is adapted in the experimental procedures. A detailed time chart and critical examination of results are presented in this paper. The method of evaluation is presented with results. The discussed learning methodology seems to be very e ff e c t i v e a n d s i g n i f i c a n t l y i n c r e a s e s t h e understanding level.
