Course Description

E170 A and B: Introduction to Modeling and Simulation

These courses introduce the concepts of analytic modeling and computer simulation, using small projects drawn from the multidisciplinary areas of Computational Engineering Science. Those areas covered span biology, chemistry, applied mathematics, and physics, as well all areas of engineering. Models will progress sequentially through problem statement, mathematical model, approximations and analytic solution, discrete model, object-oriented model, implementation and simulation, visualization, and comparison to analysis, experiment and observation. Students will be involved in the projects in Engineering 180 A and B (Computational Engineering Science Modeling and Simulation) starting in 2002.

Prerequisites: Junior standing, Engineering 77N, and Math 53 and 54, or permission of the instructor.


Extended Course Description

 This is a extended description for the course. Course notes will will be constructed from this outline.
