ME 50601 - Design Optimization Methods

Credit Hours: 3.00.  In this course, the general theory of optimization, concepts and problem statement are presented. Methods for minimization of a function of one or n-variables with and without constraints are discussed. Response surface methods and design of experiments are shown to significantly reduce analysis time. Applications using a commercial software package to solve typical engineering design optimization problems are demonstrated. Uncertainty in the design process is introduced. In addition to engineering, the methods studied can be applied to a variety of diverse disciplines such as finance, investment portfolio management, and life sciences. Permission of instructor required. Typically offered Fall Spring Summer.Credits: 3.00
