    1. CVEN302-501 Computer Applications in Engineering and Construction

    2. Teaching Assistants

    3. Course Objectives To develop the ability to solve engineering problems numerically To evaluate numerical solution methods (knowing the advantages and limitations of numerical methods) To design, implement, and test computer programs To improve the skills of writing MATLAB codes

    4. Objective: “Numerical methods” Numerical methods give solutions to math problems written as algebraic statements that computers can execute We will learn to formulate the solutions and evaluate their applicability and performance.

    5. Objective: “Design” Writing the solutions as a series of steps a computer can execute ? flow chart and pseudo-code

    6. Objective: “Testing” Checking that the computer program actually solves the equations you mean to solve Evaluating the success of the numerical solution chosen Numerical accuracy, stability, and efficiency

    7. Objective: “Evaluation” Critical evaluation of the solution the program gives for the actual engineering problem. This requires all your engineering and computer skills

    8. Objective: “Presentation” Communication of the results of a computer program to the people who need to know the answer Clients Bosses Regulators Contractors

    9. Chapter 1 Mathematical Modeling and Engineering Problem Solving

    10. Engineering Problems Empirical observation and experiment certain aspects of empirical studies occur repeatedly such general behavior can be expressed as fundamental laws that essentially embody the cumulative wisdom of past experience Theoretical / Numerical formulation of fundamental laws Algebraic ODE PDE

    11. Mathematical Models Modeling is the development of a mathematical representation of a physical/biological/chemical/ economic/etc. system Putting our understanding of a system into math Problem Solving Tools: Analytic solutions, statistics, numerical methods, graphics, etc. Numerical methods are one means by which mathematical models are solved

    12. Mathematical Modeling The process of solving an engineering or physical problem.
