EGR 150 Computational Methods in Engineering

Spring

This course introduces students to methods for solving physics and engineering problems using industry-standard software packages such as MATLAB and Excel. Students will develop basic programming skills and create algorithms to solve problems across various engineering disciplines. The course emphasizes mastering the fundamentals of generating plots for diverse purposes in engineering reports. Additionally, students will learn computational techniques, including matrix solutions for systems of linear equations, Newton’s method for finding roots of arbitrary functions, symbolic computation, and ethical approaches to incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into programming tasks. By the end of the semester, students will design and implement a program or game that integrates all the methods and techniques covered in the course.  Prerequisite:   with a grade of 2.0 or higher

2 credit hours
