Contents of the Course Unit Topics include: problem definition; graphical representation of data; unit conversions; dimensional analysis; order of magnitude estimations; elementary statistics; solution verification. Students will use computational software tools to define, solve, and present engineering problems related to mechanics, strength of materials, material and energy. We will use a powerful software tool, Matlab, to perform calculations and draw graphs. Students will also use Microsoft Word to write up your assignments. Learn how to use the equation editor in Word and how to format documents.
Contribution of the Course Intending to Provide the Professional Education -To develop skills in engineering problem definition and solving -To gain proficiency in communication through written and oral reports - To practice solving problems through teamwork - To understand the importance of economic considerations in engineering design
