Curious how engineers solve complex challenges? Dive into modern engineering and explore mechanics, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics using Python, MATLAB, and AI tools—no advanced math required! With curiosity and creativity, you’ll tackle hands-on projects from motion analysis to energy systems, discovering how AI and problem-solving skills shape the future of engineering.
By the end of the course, students will:
- Understand the basics of coding with MATLAB and Python for engineering applications.
- Use generative AI tools to assist in problem formulation, coding, and debugging. Solve core engineering problems in areas like mechanics, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics.
- Develop computational models to visualize and analyze engineering systems.
- Gain confidence in approaching complex problems using computational tools and basic math.
This course combines short lectures, tutorials, and immersive hands-on activities using AI-assisted problem formulation, coding, and analysis on the following topics:
- Engineering computing and AI tools
- Mechanics: motion and forces
- Thermodynamics: energy and efficiency
- Fluid dynamics: flow and pressure
- Capstone project: solve a real-world engineering problem
