Computing-based Modelling:
During the first seven laboratory sessions, students will be required to undertake a computer-based project, during which they will develop a model of a either an engineering/scientific or rules based system in the Matlab environment. Examples of these have included: stream functions, the diffusion of ideal gases, parametric models or the development of a chess engine. Supporting notes are provided. These projects will be assessed during the eighth session. During the final laboratory, students will be given a brief overview of the Simulink package.
Physical Modelling:
This part of the unit will enable students to model and physically realise engineering systems, evaluate design alternatives, manufacture working prototypes and assess their performance. This is achieved through two design and build projects.
Aims:
Computing-based Modelling:
To extend the students knowledge of scientific computing via Matlab and Simulink. To increase their ability and confidence in the development of programs to model physical systems.
Physical Modelling:
To provide students with foundation skills in developing (conceiving, designing and building) engineering systems to meet a specification and analysing performance for existing systems and critically appraising their performance through presentations, demonstrations and written reports. These activities together broaden the students understanding of the design, development and test process, and in particular, provide hands-on experience to realise their designs.
