Course - Computer Methods in Engineering - TPG4155
Computer Methods in Engineering
Assessments and mandatory activities may be changed until September 20th.
About
About the course
Course content
The course addresses methods for numerical solution of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and sets of linear equations, gradient based and derivative free optimization techniques, automation and cybernetics, and basic techniques for machine learning useful for engineers and geoscientists.
Learning outcome
The course aims at giving the students experience in use of computational methods to solve problems in engineering and geoscience.
Knowledge: The students should acquire knowledge about basic numerical techniques applied to problems from engineering and geoscience, including fundamental understanding of computational cost of different algorithms.
Skills: The students should be capable of writing programming routines for the numerical solution of problems in engineering and geoscience.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and exercises.
Further on evaluation
The examination papers will be given in English. Students are free to choose Norwegian or English for written assessments. If there is a re-sit examination, the form of assessment may be changed from written to oral examination.
