Computational Modeling in Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering
Computational tools to solve engineering, design and scientific problems encountered in thermodynamics, transport phenomena, separation processes and reaction kinetics. Introduction to programming skills in MATLAB and use of various MATLAB toolboxes. Theory and application of numerical methods for solution of common problems, including methods for root-finding/optimization, curve fitting (regression, interpolation, and spline), integration, differentiation, and ordinary differential equations and boundary value problems. Illustrative application examples.

Dr. Brennan cares about her students. Though the material for this class isn't riveting, she makes you WANT to like it (though it is hard to like numerical methods IMO). Her homeworks take a lot of time but they set you up nicely for exams. It's definitely time consuming but worth the effort.

Dr. Brennan is the best professor I have ever met. The material is well prepared. She cares about students. HWs take reasonable amount of time and they are very enlightening. The exam difficulty is fair. She is an easy-grader. The course is graded on a holistic understanding of the material instead of memorizing. I will take more courses with her.
