MECE 3440 Mechanical Engineering Analysis
The course equips engineering students to be able to solve problems in the following topics: complex numbers and calculus of complex functions; matrix and vector algebra, linear systems of equations and matrix eigenvalue problems; unconstrained and constrained optimization, including linear and quadratic programming. This course also offers students in-depth exposure to the use of numerical methods and programming to solve engineering problems. It covers the following topics: basic programming (including data structures, if-then-else statements, loops, etc.), numerical solution of equations and system of equations, optimization, curve fitting, and numerical calculus. The course content assumes only an introductory previous exposure to engineering concepts and focuses on exposing students to computational skills commonly used in later engineering courses. The course uses a broad range of examples from different subjects for the demonstration and preparation of students for future needs.
