ECE 452 - Computation Methods for Modelling and Simulation in Electrical Engineering

3 units (fi 8)(EITHER, 3-0-0)

Faculty of Engineering

Introduction to advanced numerical methods such as finite-difference, finite-element and spectral-domain techniques for solving partial differential equations. Simulations of systems involving multiphysics, such as electron and thermal transport, electrodynamics, MEMS, and process simulation, graphical methods for 3D visualization of simulation data. Examples from applied areas of electrical engineering to demonstrate computational methods for understanding complex physical phenomena and for simulating and modelling devices and systems. Prerequisites: ECE 341 or MATH 309 or MATH 311. Credit may be obtained in only one of ECE 452 or E E 445.
