Description
Optimal design aims at finding solution of complex design problems using optimization algorithms. The objectives of this course is to presents the fundamentals of an engineering design study, problem specification, modelling for design, optimization algorithms.
Assessment: The grading policy comprises homework and lab assessments plus a final examination. The grade of the module is the weighted average of the marks of each assessment.
Recommended prerequisite
numerical analysis, physical modelling
