This document outlines the topics, textbook references, and assignments for the course CHE 374 – Computational Methods in Engineering. The course is divided into three modules: 1) Introduction to computational methods including modeling, error analysis, and Taylor series; 2) Non-linear equations and root-finding methods like bisection, secant, and Newton-Raphson; 3) Linear algebraic equations and matrix systems using direct methods such as Gaussian elimination and LU decomposition as well as indirect Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel methods. Students will complete assignments applying these techniques to example problems from Chapter 1 of the textbook.
