MT 3901 - Computer Tools2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
The purposes of this course are to familiarize students with the modern computer tools required for engineering practice and to teach them how to apply these tools to solve practical engineerng problems. Topics include loops, logical branching, functions, plotting, root finding, matrix operations, and numerical methods. Laboratory exercises will involve the use of various computational software packages in the solution of engineering problems. (prereq:MA 127 or equivalent)
