Computational Methods in Engineering.

Catalog description

PR: Knowledge of undergraduate-level Statics, Dynamics, Fluid Dynamics, Numerical Analysis, as well as MATLAB or any other basic programming language such as C++ or Python. Students will be introduced to essential concepts in computational methods; functional approximations, system of non-linear equations, curve fitting, numerical differentiation and integration. Explicit, implicit, and iterative techniques will be used in conjunction with finite difference, finite volume and finite element methods, with emphasis on applications in mechanical and aerospace engineering including aerodynamics, heat transfer, mechanics of materials, and so on.
