This unit will build on mathematical modelling and case studies units in the first two years of the engineering mathematics degree programmes and complete our students' thorough grounding in team-based mathematical modelling and problem solving applied to real world problems. The unit will be divided into 4 six week quarters. At the start of each quarter, we will split the students into teams of 4-6 and present a sequence of real-world problems, one for each team. During the quarter, the students will be trained in the problem solving approach, and work on and be guided towards and through particular mathematical/computational solution methodologies by the supervising academic. At the end of the quarter, each group of students will present their results and submit a written technical report.
Aims:
To give students a thorough grounding in mathematical modelling and problem solving applied to real world engineering / applied science problems. The course will cover both model-centric and data-centric paradigms.
At the end of the course students will:
Computer laboratory sessions.
Assessment details:
100% coursework
This unit will be assessed by four equal coursework assignments, one for each problem worked on. Each of the four five-week parts will be assessed by:
There is no standard set of textbooks for this course. Each problem presented will typically be accompanied by a couple of references. However, students will be encouraged to use the library and internet to discover any missing technical information not included in the problem presentation.
