Course description |
For the first five weeks, the students work on a self-study MATLAB module which will consist of five individual units. The individual units will be concluded by competence based self tests so that the students can test whether they understood the concepts and are able to apply them. These units will be supported by weekly computing drop-in sessions. The learning outcomes of the module will be assessed by a computer-based class test.
The second half of the course focuses on the application of numerical methods in a chemical engineering context. The learning outcomes of this part of the course will be assessed by completion of the weekly computing labs weeks 6 - 9 and a hand-in exercise.
