ENGR& 240 - Engineering Computation

Credits: (5)
Natural Sciences
An introduction to engineering and scientific computing using a high-level, interpreted programming language (e.g., MATLAB; Python). Topics include modeling physical quantities using vectors and matrices; program architecture (e.g., logic; loops; functions); data pre- and postprocessing; and visualization. Specific applications include solutions of linear and nonlinear systems; regression and interpolation; numerical differentiation and integration; and solution of ordinary differential equations. Emphasis given to practical applications and how the subject applies in industry.

Prerequisite: MATH& 153 with a grade of C or higher (or concurrent enrollment with concurrent enrollment in ENGR 119).
