Unit Code: EEB604

Unit Name: Engineering Computations and Modelling

Description: Engineers need to be able to predict and manage the behaviour of systems. In practice, you will likely encounter competing demands and complications when working with systems. To make sound decisions, engineers are normally expected to develop mathematical and numerical models to help analyse the behaviour of an engineering system and then apply engineering judgement in the interpretation of the results of the modelling. In this course, you will develop skills in programming using MATLAB. Through real-world challenges and case studies that require the application of array and matrix operations, files, functions, control structures and plotting. You will learn to apply these skills to undertake a range of numerical computation and modelling exercises using MATLAB. You will also develop skills in problem-solving and learn advanced numerical methods to analyse engineering systems represented by differential equation models.

Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, the student should be able to: 1. Develop an appropriate mathematical and numerical model of an engineering problem. (WA2) 2. Develop a logical and well-structured computer program for the analysis of engineering problems and its concept of debugging. (WA2) 3. Analyze and evaluate the behaviour of an engineering system using MATLAB®. (WA5) 4. Demonstrate and apply a range of methods in the analysis and design of engineering problems. (WA3) 5. Apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) knowledge and algorithms to solve problems. (WA4)
