What will I learn?
This course offers a practical guide to mastering constrained optimisation for engineering designs. Learners translate physical needs into objective functions and constraints, use partial derivatives, gradients, Hessians, and KKT conditions, and validate solutions through sensitivity analysis, clear reports, and real-world factors in an efficient format.
