ME 118: MECHANICAL ENGINEERING MODELING AND ANALYSIS
University of California, Riverside
4 Units, Lecture, 3 hours, discussion, 1 hour. Prerequisite(s): MATH 046, ME 018B with a grade of C- or better. Introduces data analysis and modeling used in engineering through the software package MATLAB. Numerical methods include descriptive and inferential statistics, sampling and bootstrapping, fitting linear and nonlinear models to observed data, interpolation, numerical differentiation and integration, and solution of systems of ordinary differential equations. Final project involves the development and evaluation of a model for an engineering system. Credit is awarded for only one of ENGR 118 or ME 118.
