783 - Optimization with Engineering Applications (3 credits) |
| Course
Description: In CEE 783, Optimization with Engineering
Applications, you will learn to solve a variety of optimization problems
using optimization software or the optimization routines available in spreadsheets
(e.g., Excel or Quattro). Linear, nonlinear, and discrete problems will
be solved. You also will learn the theory of improving search methods,
which are the basis for all optimization algorithms. An emphasis will be
placed on the need for the modeler to examine the practicality of program
results. You will perform a life cycle analysis, which is an optimization
procedure that minimizes the impacts on the environment. |
