ENGE 116 Computational Methods in Engineering
- Units
- 3
- Hours
- 32 - 36 hours lecture/48-54 hours lab
- Corequisite
- Completion of or concurrent enrollment in: MATH 151 with a Grade of "C" or better, or equivalent
This course introduces students to computational methods and their applications to computer-based problem solving for engineers. Students formulate and solve engineering problems through modeling and the application of numerical methods, then evaluate and rationalize the results using Matlab computational engineering software. Topics include functions and arrays, data and file management, loops, control flow, and standard library packages and software. Numerical methods covered include matrix operations, Gauss Reduction, Newton Raphson, curve fitting, interpolation, numerical differentiation and numerical integration. Engineering application include finite element analysis, dynamics, computational fluid mechanics, data visualization and image analysis. This course is designed for students majoring in engineering.
