ENGR 510 - Engineering Optimization: Method/Application

Prerequisite

Credit not allowed for both ENGR 510 and MATH 510.

Description

This course will Introduce methods of optimization to engineering students, including linear programming, network flow algorithms, integer programming, interior point methods, quadratic programming, nonlinear programming, and heuristic methods. Numerous applications are presented in civil, environmental, electrical (control) engineering, and industrial engineering. The goal is to maintain a balance between theory, numerical computation, problem setup for solution by optimization software, and applications to engineering systems.

This course can be applied towards:

• Civil Engineering (M.E.)
• Mechanical Engineering (M.E.)
• Systems Engineering (M.E.)
