Engineering Problem Solving and Data Analysis unit (KAA109)

Introduction

The unit is primarily designed for students to develop basic to intermediate computer-based skills to solve engineering problems using mathematical and programming techniques. The emphasis is on developing solutions and algorithms by building well structured and efficient computer programs and presenting results in a clear and concise manner in conjunction with engineering problem solving. Students will develop experimental analysis skills and will demonstrate data analysis, software design, report writing, group work & presentation skills. The acquired knowledge and skills will contribute to forming fundamental abilities for further year units related to computer aided engineering and problem solving.
