Semester 2 (ONC)TWMBA

Units 1 () Band 2

Pre-requisite: ENG3103

The student in this course will continue to develop their skill at solving problems within an engineering context, and to communicate the results in a professional matter. He or she will develop high level computer programming skills using MATLAB. The non-linear behaviour of typical problems will be explored through the medium of selected case studies, and numerical techniques for dealing with such behaviour will be learnt. The extraction of meaningful data from the noise in a data series will also be an issue. The philosophical approaches to engineering problem solving will now be expanded and explored by the student. In particular, the concept of 'downstream' consequences of specific solutions to problems, and the limitations of reductionist analyses will be discussed.
