Introduction to Engineering Computation Honors

Catalog description

This honors course provides an introduction to computational problem-solving in engineering, with a focus on advanced programming techniques, computational methods, and modern technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). Students will learn how to develop algorithms, apply numerical methods, and write efficient code to solve engineering problems. The course includes hands-on experience with a programming language (e.g., Python or MATLAB) with instruction on data types, loops, recursion, conditionals, arrays, functions, debugging, object-oriented programming, data structures, and the basics of AI and machine learning. Through a combination of lectures and lab sessions, students will gain the skills to complete challenging engineering projects that require innovative solutions and efficient code development.
