Goals/Objectives: The objective of this class is to develop in students a proficiency in the numerical modeling of problems arising in mechanical and aerospace engineering. Theory and applications of numerical methods are developed with the aid of case studies drawn from the mechanical and aerospace

engineering disciplines. The methods of constraint optimization are integrated with previously developed numerical methods in the development of design methodologies.

ENG1-313 T: 2:00 4:00 P.M. and M W: 2:30 P.M.-4:00 P.M. No appointment necessary Students will be expected to use Webcourses for online assignments submission. Projects will be assigned in the form of computer programming exercises. A computer-generated report is required for projects that are submitted (3 projects) while other projects (6 projects) will be graded by iClicker in the Friday lab sessions. We will utilize MATHCAD (7 assignments) and MATLAB (2 assignments) as programming platforms. Students are encouraged to consult library and internet references to aid in researching course material. 1. Introductory remarks, review of Calculus, fundamental programming concepts and data representation. 2. Solution of nonlinear equations of a single variable. 3. Systems of linear algebraic equations: direct and iterative methods. 4. Systems of non-linear algebraic equations. 5. Interpolation and curve fitting. 6. Numerical differentiation and integration. 7. Statistics and Least-Squares approximations: linear and non-linear least squares. 8. Numerical solutions of ordinary differential equations: time marching and two point boundary value problems.

Guidelines:

Reading assignments are to be completed prior to class discussion. The example problems and study questions in the text should be studied and understood as part of the reading assignment. Your textbook comes with a very rich level of supporting course materials including a course website provided by the author with practice quiz and exam questions. You are encouraged to utilize these associated resources. All exams are specified in the preliminary course schedule. Any change to the schedule will be notified at least two weeks in advance. Make-up exams will be given only under justifiable circumstances. Attendance is

mandatory not only by university regulations but also by new immigration policies. Course Grading: The final grade will be based upon the following proportions: Projects #1 - #9 Exam 1 Exam 2 Final Quizzes (in class) Grade Distribution: 88.00 89.99 = A 78.00 79.99 = B 68.00 69.99 = C 58.00 59.99 = D 57.99 = F 30% 15% 15% 20% 20% 90.00 = A 80.00 85.99 = B 70.00 75.99 = C 60.00 65.99 = D

86.00 87.99 = B+ 76.00 77.99 = C+ 66.00 67.99 = D+

Exams:

All examinations will be administered in class. You are expected to use a calculator and/or a laptop with MATHCAD or any other spreadsheets to carry out computations. Examination answers will be reported on bubble sheets. You are to purchase your own bubble sheets (raspberry with the UCF logo) and bring these to the exams. Any suspicion of cheating on an exam will result in at least a zero for that exam. Weekly quizzes are held in class using iClicker. All quizzes will be open books and notes and you will be expected to bring calculators or laptops to carry out simple computations. Quizzes are composed of short multiple-choice, true/false, or may consist of simple calculations. You are to obtain and register an iCliker using your NID by the second day of classes. You are to take quizzes on an individual basis. Talking during a quiz or sharing of iCliker responses is un-acceptable. Any suspicion of cheating on a quiz will result in at least a zero for that quiz.

Projects:

A total of nine (9) individual computer projects are scheduled on the course calendar and posted on Webcourses. A working period of at least seven (7) days will be given for each project. A teaching assistant (TA) has been assigned for this class and can be contacted for support on these projects. All nine (9) projects involve programming using either MathCAD or Matlab. Additional credit (5%) will be given to students who successfully complete the computer projects utilizing any of the following high-level programming language: C, C++, C#, FORTRAN, BASIC, PASCAL, or JAVA. Projects assignments will be posted on Webcourses and 3 projects and their associated reports will submitted via-Webcourses and the remainder will be graded by iClicker in the Friday lab session. All projects are equally weighted.

Projects are to be completed on an individual basis. Any suspicion of cheating on a project will result in at least a zero for that project. Labs: Laboratory attendance is mandatory. All students should have a CECS account in order to log into the computers in the Lab located in ENGR II room 304. You can obtain an account by showing a student ID proving you are engineering students at the back of the Harris lab.
