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