Description: Modeling, Simulation, and Visualization using Matlab and Python. This project-based course introduces students to engineering computation in Matlab and Python. Computational projects motivated by different science and engineering applications are used to introduce basic numerical methods, and develop computational solutions using Matlab and Python. No programming knowledge is required or expected; students learn how to implement their solutions in Matlab and Python. Lectures are held Mondays and Wednesdays. In a laboratory component held on Fridays, students work in small groups on computational projects led by a Rice Learning Assistant. Fall/Spring semester: meeting 3 times per week (50min each meeting). Summer semester: meeting 5 times per week (65min each meeting) OR refer to the current schedule. Cross-list: CMOR 220, CMOR 220, CMOR 220, CMOR 220, CMOR 220, CMOR 220, CMOR 220, CMOR 220. Recommended Prerequisite(s): MATH 101
