Credit points: 6.00
Contact: 18 lectures and 8 hours tutorials/practical work
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course students will have acquired a knowledge of the role of systems analysis techniques as aids to decision-making for planning design and management of engineering systems. Emphasis is placed on how planning, design and management problems can be structured to enable particular decision-assisting techniques to be used. Illustrative examples are drawn from structural, agricultural, transport and water resource engineering. Techniques for optimization, simulation, decision-making under risk and uncertainty, and multi-objective decision-making will be studied.
Content:
Systems analysis and optimisation techniques. Linear programming, dynamic programming and queuing theories and their use in environmental systems design and management. Simulation techniques. Sensitivity and network analysis.
Assessment:
A two-hour examination; reports and assignments up to a total of 30 pages.
