Module content and teaching
Principal aims
This module aims to provide students with an introduction to techniques in systems analysis and mathematical modelling for application to physical processes across a range of engineering disciplines. It will be illustrated how the techniques for the analysis of systems, and the general systems approach, are highly relevant to processes of a multi-disciplinary engineering nature. The module will focus on a broad and generic systems approach to understanding physical systems. Techniques for systems analysis, approaches to systems modelling and the techniques for the simulation of systems models will be considered. In particular, a rigorous approach to the application of physical laws to formulate appropriate dynamical systems representations, and their subsequent analysis using linear and nonlinear methods, will be taught. The application of appropriate computational tools for systems analysis and simulation will naturally be included. The examples presented will be drawn from a range of different engineering disciplines to illustrate the advantages of a systems approach.
