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.
