ENGRI 1510 - Modeling and Simulation of Real-World Scientific Problems(crosslisted) CHEM 1350 , CHEME 1510 , MAE 1510(CU-CEL) Spring. 3 credits. Letter grades only. Open to: all Cornell students regardless of major, with interest in science, computer-based activities, and community outreach. Fulfills introduction to engineering requirement. N. Ananth, P. Pepiot. Hands-on introduction to scientific modeling and numerical simulations relevant to computational science and engineering. Students will learn how real-world problems can be solved using models, algorithms, and statistical tools. The course is organized around a set of team-based scientific computing projects drawn from various engineering and life science fields, using actual research and/or industrial computational codes. Leveraging simplified and user-friendly software interfaces and tutorials, the course focuses on the inductive learning of key concepts and topics such as physical and computational model formulation, verification and validation, uncertainty analysis, post-processing and data mining, and a high-level introduction to high performance computing. The course culminates with a community-engaged project, in which students are introduced to the basics of engineering design and team management to develop and animate a scientific computing activity in collaboration with, and tailored for, the Sciencenter. Future Science Leaders program for middle- and high-schoolers. No prior programming experience is necessary, and a high-school math level is assumed. Enthusiasm for computer-based activities and interest in community outreach is strongly recommended. Outcome 1: Students will understand "corner stone" skills of CSE, including modeling, code verification and validation, error analysis. Outcome 2: Use and manipulate software packages to learn how science problems can be represented in computational programs. Outcome 3: Be confident in their ability to use computers to solve scientific and engineering problems. Outcome 4: Learn practical skills to improve their ability to lead a team, be a good teammate and communicate effectively. |
