Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
It is proposed to mount a course on Essential Mathematics for Process Engineering Research (EMPiRe). The aim is to teach the essential mathematical and statistical tools and concepts that will enable research students to make a rapid impact in their chosen research area. The thesis is that a proactive approach will be of benefit to individual research students and ultimately the whole research community. It will build on strong foundations gained at undergraduate level and provide engineering students focused treatment of applied mathematics and statistics using practical examples rather than through exhaustive theorems and proofs. Course participants will gain the ability and the confidence to use advanced mathematical and statistical tools as an integral part of their research activities. This will aid in the design of experiments, the analysis and processing of experimental data, process modelling and simulation, optimization, and the analysis and treatment of experimental results. While traditional mathematics and statistics courses often neglect technology, the course emphasis is on practical solutions using MATLAB and Minitab. However the ethos of the course is to ensure that the students have a fundamental understanding of the tools and where and how they should be applied, alongside the limitations of the various technologies.
