The objective of this course is for engineering students to acquire sufficient computing skills that allow them to effectively solve computational problems in engineering, design and development, such as simulation, process control, quality control, etc. Topics covered include: introduction to compuational problem solving for engineering tasks, such as simulation, process control, etc, introduction to popular applications (such as spreadsheets and database) to solve computational problems in engineering, introduction to emerging Technologies, with the aim to understand their limitations/advantages and how they could be exploited to innovatively and effectively solve engineering problems. No prior computing background is required.
