Introduction
I teach a course on engineering problem solving as part of an online Masters degree program. The program is called the Master of Engineering in Professional Practice (MEPP) and it is designed to help practicing engineers enhance technical and management skills.The course I teach uses Microsoft Excel and Matlab to build problem solving skills suitable for engineers. The videos below are used in some of the introductory lessons to make sure all students are prepared to apply these tools to typical engineering problems.
