Course overview
Modern engineering tools and processes are developed using programming tools, including powerful frameworks for analysing and visualising data. This course will provide students with practical skills in the use of programming tools to execute engineering calculations, analyse data, and visualise results. The course will cover the use of both spreadsheet and code approaches, concluding with an open-ended project. The foundational skills taught in this course will be extended in future engineering modelling courses.
Course learning outcomes
