Computer Tools for Engineers
Staff Contact: Mr M. Ford
S1 UC3 TH39 HPW3
This course will prepare first-year engineering students to use the computer
and computer programming as tools for use in their engineering course and future
employment. Students will gain: an awareness of what a computing system consists
of and broadly how a computer works; an introductory knowledge of some computing
packages that will be useful for studies; an introductory knowledge of the structured
approach to problem solving using a computer; a working familiarity with the
engineering language/environment MATLAB, and the ability to employ it for problem
solving.
