MEC 320 - Numerical Methods in Engineering Design and Analysis


This course emphasizes the implementation of numerical methods for computer-aided solutions to the problems that arise in engineering design and analysis. Methods include interpolation, extrapolation, curve fitting, and integration and techniques solving non-linear equations, systems of linear equations, and differential equations. Optimization in engineering design is covered from the formulation of design specifications and criteria, to analyzable models, through to numerical implementation. May not be taken for credit in addition to AMS 326  or CIV 350 .
