Overview
This unit introduces computing fundamentals in the context of dynamical systems. Programming structures including arrays, loops, conditional statements, and functions will be presented through the MATLAB environment. This use of MATLAB will initially focus on the analysis of physical systems involving linear and rotational motions that can be solved analytically. These systems will be analysed via kinematic, kinetic, and energy-based methods.
The unit will then examine a wider range of complex engineering and dynamical systems that do not exhibit analytical solutions. Problems related to these systems will be solved using numerical methods for linear regression, root-finding, integration, ordinary differential equations, and systems of linear equations. The underlying assumptions and uncertainties associated with the models and numerical methods will be emphasised.

Learning outcomes
When you finish this unit, you should be able to:
- 1
Identify appropriate programming structures and functions to solve simple computational tasks.
- 2
Determine the motion of particles and rigid bodies using fundamental concepts of kinematics, kinetics and energy methods to analyse simple physical systems.
- 3
Select and implement appropriate programming structures and functions to solve problems involving the motion of particles and rigid bodies as well as other engineering problems.
- 4
Discern mathematical and computational information in prose descriptions of diverse engineering problems and incorporate this into analytically- and numerically-computed solutions.
- 5
Describe uncertainties and errors associated with numerical models and methods and their implications on the computed results.
Workload and teaching

- Laboratories36 hours
- Workshops24 hours
- Teaching approachActive learning
The minimum total expected workload to achieve the learning outcomes for this unit is 144 hours per semester typically comprising a mixture of 3-6 hours of scheduled learning activities and 6-9 hours of independent study per week. Scheduled activities may include a combination of teacher-directed learning, peer-directed learning and online engagement. Independent study may include associated readings, assessment and preparation for scheduled activities.
This unit uses a blended-flipped active learning approach that introduces you to topics via online written and video material. You are expected to prepare for the week by studying this content, then attending an expert-led workshop where the concepts are reviewed and where activities are provided to apply students' knowledge on the activity within the class. You will gain further practical experience via hands-on practical classes.
