Scientific computing for Mechanical Engineering

Block 1 - Programming principles and data structures (4 lectures and 2 GS, 6x2h=12h)
Block 2 - Object-oriented data structures and linear systems of equations (4 lectures and 2 GS, 6x2h=12h)
Block 3 - Component and block-based programming (2 lectures and 1 GS, 3x2h=6h)

After this course the students are able to design and implement a scientific code to solve a system of equations, to control a complex system, or to post-process large amounts of digital data. The coursrse targets the development of genereic programming skills. For that reason, use is made of multiple programming languanges, with a prominent role for C and Python.

Assignment

Basic programming skills in a language such as Matlab or Python (e.g. for data analysis and visualisation).
