MAE 1112 - Practical Computing for Engineering

(crosslisted) ENGRG 1112 
     


Fall, Spring. 1 credit. Student option grading.

Prerequisite or corequisite: MATH 1910  or equivalent and CS 1112  or equivalent.

A. Ruina.

An introduction to Engineering problem solving using Matlab, supplementing CS 1112 . The course uses CS 1112  concepts in the service of basic numerical computation for engineering. At course completion, a student will be able to comfortably use Matlab to solve or check homework problems or project issues, in almost all other math and engineering courses, using various numerical and symbolic methods.

Throughout the semester, students will solve `word problems’. The over-arching theme, sitting above the list of topics in the applied text and in the CS 1112  syllabus, is the nature of problem solving: How to turn a question into a solvable problem, and then solving, debugging and making sense of the solution. The final project and demonstration will show competence in all of this.
