CEE 301 - Engineering Comp. Modeling

Course Units: 1

Basic programming concepts introduced in CS10X are expanded to investigate computational solutions to engineering problems. A progression of numerical solutions are investigated with student written codes and a gradual progression of implementing library software. Topics include solution techniques to 1-D nonlinear equations, linear systems of equations and nonlinear systems of equations. Interpolation and curve fitting techniques are developed using engineering data. Finite difference integration and differentiation are introduced with a natural progression to solving 1-D, first order differential equations using Euler, Heun, and Runge Kutta algorithms. Higher order differential equations are analyzed using reduction of order. Prerequisite(s): CSC 10X
