Course Description:
Engineering Computation is an entry level course into digital computers, and hardware and software organization. It covers programming fundamentals, algorithms and control structures, computer communication and problem solving by plotting, fitting data, building new functions and creating iterations and loops. The primary software for the course is MATLAB, which will be utilized to problem solve, create plots, and design more complex programs in the programming environment. The aforementioned material will be applied in MATLAB and more advanced functions and tools will be used. The second half of the course introduces elementary numerical methods and their execution in MATLAB as well as their applications in Nano Engineering.
