This course will focus on the application of Python in solving and analysing problems related to Mechanical Engineering. Also, the course enables the students to write Python script for solving and analyzsng problems related to mechanical engineering courses like Engineering Mechanics, Mechanics of Machines, Thermal Science, Mechanical Vibrations, Control Engineering and Engineering Economics. Upon completion of the course, students can develop project in his/her course of interest which will save time in solving and analysing the problem.
Course Outcomes
- Make use of the fundamentals of Python programming to solve real-world problems.
- Apply features of object-oriented and NumPy package to develop computationally intensive applications to analyze Mechanical Engineering problems and interpret the data.
- Use loops, functions, different libraries, custom functions to solve mechanical engineering problems.
