This course covers numerical methods in engineering design. The fundamentals of numerical approaches are discussed, including iteration, approximation, and numerical errors. Numerical methods are presented in detail for integration, differentiation, regression, interpolation, ordinary differential equations (ODEs), and partial differential equations (PDEs). Computational approaches including frequency-domain analysis using discrete Fourier transforms and finite-element analysis are introduced. Finally, these numerical methods are applied to real-world engineering design problems. Three lecture hours and three lab hours per week.
