Summary

1 / 3

Recent recorded grades — Fall 2022: 3.92 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=24 letter grades); Fall 2024: 4.00 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=5 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Perform computations typically encountered in Engineering (data reading/writing, solving linear systems, perform regressions, etc.) using Python scripts with hundreds to thousands of lines of code

  • Produce a software design solution that can be subsequently implemented in Python to solve a task/practical problem that draws on a computing component

  • Increase their productivity in tasks that require Python programming by taking advantages of 3rd party Python packages

  • Justify the rationale behind using Python in Engineering; explain how this programming language provides support of numerical analysis, statistical analysis, robotics, machine learning, data visualization, computer vision, and AI
