Module overview

The module is focussed around advanced computational methods incorporating C and compiled languages, computational modelling and software engineering techniques for science and engineering. It builds on lower level courses such as FEEG1001 and FEEG2001 and assumes that the students are familiar already with one programming language (typically Python).

Through the lectures and directed reading you will be able to gain understanding of the principles and methods of advanced computational and software engineering techniques along with C programming skills and how these are applied to problem solving. The laboratory sessions will cover both C programming and numerical modelling and will give you the opportunity to apply and enhance this understanding. Support in the lab sessions will help you to prepare for programming assignments, which will provide you with feedback on your ability to apply your knowledge and skills to a variety of problems.

Students should be aware that this module requires pre requisite skills in programming, ideally in python
