ENGR 585 Optimization Methods for Engineering Systems
This is a survey course of advanced numerical and computational optimization methods as applied to equations governing engineering systems. It will employ the MATLAB numerical package and review engineering modeling techniques: first principles, empirical data and numerical solution techniques for ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations. The course will then cover fundamental principles of optimization techniques as applied to modeled engineering systems. This is an applied course that will consist of assigned problems requiring computer-based solutions to optimize engineering systems.
