Course content
The scope of this course is an optimal design for Engineering Design. This course is composed of three parts. The first one lectures on modeling and computational principles of an optimal design. Several optimization methods are described in the second topics including CAX technologies. The last one exercises optimization and presentation for a pasta bridge competition.
Purpose of class

Evaluation method and criteria
Depending the design review of optimization definition (25%), HJ method report (25%), final presentation (25%), and optimal design solution (25%). If proposed optimal design, satisfied the design specification for pasta bridge competition, is performed by using your optimization method systematically, and also the HJ report can describe the reason clearly, those outcomes will be evaluated as 80%.
