This course introduces students to robust practices for the quality-assured application of mathematical models in engineering problem solving. Using simple ODE and machine-learning models drawn from Civil Engineering subdisciplines, students will apply a structured approach to model design, testing and utilisation, including key steps of conceptualisation, verification & validation, calibration, prediction, and uncertainty analysis. By the end of this course, students will appreciate the role of physics-driven and machine learning models for solving engineering problems, their limitations, and how model information must be weighed against financial, sociocultural and legal considerations.
Subject to the approval of the Head of Department.
Any student who has been impaired by significant exceptional and/or unforeseeable circumstances that have prevented them from completing any major assessment items, or that have impaired their performance such that the results are not representative of their true level of mastery of the course material, may apply for special consideration through the formal university process. The applicability and academic remedy/action associated with the special consideration process is listed for each assessment item below. Please refer to the University Special Consideration Regulations and Special Consideration Policies and Procedures documents for more information on the acceptable grounds for special consideration and the application process.Resit tests and exams will be held in person between 8 and 12 of July 2024. Students must be available to take the resit test or exam in person. Students with pending Special Consideration applications are advised to take the resit but will not benefit from it unless their application is eventually approved at the appropriate level of severity.All communication associated with the arrangement of equivalent alternative tests/exams will be conducted using official UC email accounts. Students will have a clearly specified amount of time to respond to the offer to sit the alternative assessment. Failure to respond will be interpreted as a declined offer. If the offer is declined or no response is received in the specified time frame, the original assessment mark will be used to compute the course grade.
