Computer-based Modelling 1 introduces the use of computer programming, specifically within the Matlab environment to model engineering systems. The first four sessions introduce the basic concepts of programming in Matlab, including loops, conditional statements, matrix manipulation, function definition and plotting. In the remaining six sessions, the students are required to complete a computer-based project to model a mechanical engineering system.
Aims:
To understand how to develop a computer model of an engineering system using the Matlab programming package.
Lectures and laboratory classes.
Laboratory Exercise (10%) and Project Assessment (90%)
