Objectives The student is expected to develop an understanding of systematic definition and characterisation of engineering problems together with an appreciation of computer software/hardware for modelling. The student is expected to gain proficiency in translating problems to useful computer models/simulations. The student should gain competence in designing interactive interfaces for data input and processing/decision information feedback.
Synopsis Systematic definition and characterisation of engineering problems. Determination of software, computer hardware and practical constraints. Selection of appropriate solution techniques for a range of real engineering problems. Construction of an interactive computer simulation/model of typical problems including graphical output, user interaction and their use in forming engineering judgements between options. Validation of models/simulations based on model sensitivity, error analysis and domain applicability. Particular emphasis on the engineering use of advanced spreadsheets.
