Course Objectives: The objective of this course is to provide an introduction to the use of computer-based applications in environmental engineering. The focus will be on generic tools such as spreadsheets (i.e. Excel) and computational programming (i.e. MATLAB, Python). The role of computer-based methods in environmental engineering practice will be discussed.
Course Content: Introduction to the use of computer-based
applications in environmental engineering. The use of spreadsheets (tables,
functions, graphs). Basic MATLAB (basic features, functions, plotting tools,
computational tools). Data analysis with Python. Overview of engineering
software tools. Overview of available environmental engineering software tools.
At the end of the course, the students will:
