MANE 4280 - Numerical Design Optimization

This course introduces the theory and practical use of numerical design optimization methods. Topics include:  gradient-based methods for unconstrained and constrained nonlinear optimization; numerical evaluation of derivatives; polynomialand- and kriging-based surrogate models; gradient-free optimization methods; optimization under uncertainty; multi-objective and multi-disciplinary optimization. Projects require the use of computer programs to generate numerical results; therefore, experience with programming is highly recommended.

Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: MATH 2010 Multivariable Calculus and Matrix Algebra and CSCI 1190 Beginning Programming for Engineers or MANE 2110 Numerical Methods and Programming, equivalents (e.g., CSCI 1010, CSCI 1100).

When Offered: Fall term annually.



Cross Listed: MANE 6710 Numerical Design Optimization.

Credit Hours: 3
