Spring 2021- INDE 516: Applications of Optimization in Engineering Design

Professor Zelda Zabinsky – MW 8:30 – 9:50 am, Remote Optimization is very useful in engineering design, operations, and strategic planning. Often these problems can be modeled with computer programs but lack a closed-form mathematical formulation. The problems often lack structure and may be non-convex, multi-modal, non-differentiable, and include both real-valued and integer variables. The…
