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; polynomial- 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: Prerequisites: MATH 2010  and (MANE 2110  or CSCI 1100 , or permission of instructor).

When Offered: Fall term annually.



Cross Listed: Co-Listed with: MANE 6710  Numerical Design Optimization. Students cannot obtain credit for both this course and the co-listed course.
