EML 5040 - Numerical Methods and Simulation

Credits: 3

Course Description: This course will introduce basic numerical analysis techniques with MATLAB and simulation software, which are used to solve engineering problems. It will cover a range of numerical analysis techniques related to solving systems of linear algebraic equations, matrix eigenvalue problems, nonlinear equations, polynomial approximation and interpolation, numerical integration and differentiation, ordinary and partial differential equations. Students will learn how to apply Finite Element Analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics to simulate case studies with real-world applications using computational tools such as ANSYS, COMSOL, and other commercial software. Students will gain hands-on experience using programs for solution of problems in stress analysis, heat transfer, strength of materials, fluid mechanics, bio-engineering, and other areas in mechanical engineering.
