EMGT 6912 - Techniques and Intelligent Tools for Engineering Decision Support


Credit Hours: (3)

Surveys and introduces techniques and automated tools to support complex engineering decision-making, as well as methods for evaluating and selecting appropriate tools. Reviews and introduces decision-making processes and techniques; traditional automated decision support tools such as CAD, FEA, CFD, and other conventional modeling and simulation tools; decision support tools based on soft-computing technologies such as knowledge based expert systems, fuzzy logic, artificial neural nets, and genetic algorithms; and methods to evaluate and select tools appropriate for specific applications. Students introduced to an overview of the underlying technologies used in the tools, learn the characteristics of applications appropriate for the tools, learn how to evaluate and select the decision support tools appropriate for an application, and demonstrate their understanding by preparing examples in applications.

Prerequisite(s): Permission of instructor.
