MANE 4280 - Design Optimization: Theory and Practice


This course introduces the student to the theory and use of numerical design optimization methods, with a major focus on the algorithms and problem formulations relevant to engineering design. The lectures concentrate on the algorithm development while the exercises emphasize correct problem formulation and evaluation of the results. Topics include methods for unconstrained nonlinear problems, constrained linear and nonlinear problems, sensitivity analysis, multiobjective optimization, and mechanism optimization.

Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: MANE 4030 or equivalent.

When Offered: Fall term annually.



Credit Hours: 3
