OVERVIEW.
THE COURSE AIMS TO FIRST PROVIDE CONCEPTS TO FORMULATE ENVIRONMENTAL AND CIVIL ENGINEERING PROBLEMS IN TERMS OF MATHEMATICAL MODELS. THEN, NUMERICAL COMPUTING IS EXPLAINED, CONSISTING OF A SET OF METHODS AND PROCEDURES TO SET UP NUMERICAL MODELS DESCRIBING THE PHYSICAL PROCESS.
.
EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS AND COMPETENCE TO ACQUIRE
KNOWLEDGE OF NUMERICAL COMPUTING ELEMENTS. TO BE ABLE TO SET UP METHODS AND PROCEDURES FOR THE APPROXIMATE SOLUTIONS OF CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS.
.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
TO ACQUIRE THE KNOW-HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE SPECIFIC ASPECTS OF NUMERICAL METHODS AND PROCEDURES.
.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING APPLIED
TO BE ABLE TO SELECT, ANALIZE AND APPLY NUMERICAL METHODS AND PROCEDURES WITH REGARDS TO THE PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED.
.
AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT
KNOW HOW TO IDENTIFY SUITABLE NUMERICAL METHODS AND PROCEDURES WITH REGARDS TO THE PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED.
.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
TO BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN MATHEMATICAL MODELS AND NUMERICAL PROCEDURES, USING A PERSONAL COMPUTER / NOTEBOOK.
.
LEARNING ABILITY
TO BE ABLE TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED CONCEPTS AND SKILLS, TO BE ABLE TO SELF-LEARN THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS OF KNOWLEDGE.
Prerequisites
TO BE ABLE TO OBSERVE, UNDERSTAND AND MODEL ENGINEERING PHENOMENA. BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF PROGRAMMING (E.G. FUNDAMENTALS OF MATLAB LANGUAGE) IS REQUIRED.
Contents
THE COURSE CONSISTS OF 3 PARTS.
