Featured Courses
Course | Description | |
---|---|---|
Numerical Analysis | Students will explore iterative techniques that generate successive approximations converging towards exact solutions. Emphasis is placed on utilizing convergence tests to determine solution accuracy and employing precision arithmetic to control convergence. Examples include Newton's method, bisection method, and Jacobi iteration. In computational matrix algebra, iterative approaches are essential for large-scale problems. Notable methods like GMRES and the companion gradient method are covered, addressing challenges of extensive computation steps for exact solutions. Through this course, students will master essential iterative algorithms vital for tackling complex numerical problems efficiently. | |
Collaps Analysis in Construction | Through this course, students will explore the intricate factors influencing design decisions, including product features and material properties. Dive into the nuances of plastic product design and variations, alongside an in-depth understanding of material formation and its implications on design. Learn techniques for cost estimation and utilize Finite Element Method (FEM) for plasticity analysis. Delve into advanced topics such as pushover analysis, bending of plastic, and damage models for concrete structures. Additionally, gain insights into the design of structural cladding systems and conduct plastic analysis of beams and frames. By the end of this course, students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to tackle complex design challenges and conduct comprehensive structural analyses in various engineering contexts. | |
Dissertation Preparation Techniques | Dissertation Writing Techniques hone students' skills in writing scientific dissertations in the field of civil engineering. This course covers various aspects of the dissertation writing process, including structuring the dissertation, establishing a clear research question, conducting a comprehensive literature review, analyzing data (if any), and synthesizing findings to produce original insights. Students also learn effective techniques for organizing and presenting their arguments cohesively, adhering to academic conventions, and engaging with relevant civil engineering science. Additionally, emphasis is placed on critical thinking, clarity of expression, and adherence to academic integrity standards. Through guided instruction and hands-on practice, scholars develop the skills to produce well-researched, logistically structured, and intellectually rigorous dissertations that contribute to the advancement of civil engineering scholarship. |
