Course Objectives This course is intended for students with basic programming experience in Python. It aims to provide students with different computational approaches for various Operations Research (OR) problems and to help students feel justifiably confident of their ability to write small programs for solving OR problems. The class will use Python programming language.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • 1. Design algorithms for engineering problems.
  • 2. Practice basic data manipulation using the computation tool.
  • 3. Use advanced tools for the simulation of the data.
  • 4. Use modern software systems and tools.
  • 5. Use statistical data for decision-making.
  • 6. Implement some basic machine learning (clustering, classification, regression, etc.) models.
Course Description This course focuses on computational thinking for Operations Research. Towards the end of the course, students are also introduced to some basic models used in Machine Learning.
