Welcome to Week-9

Posted by Ashesh Mahidadia Monday 11 April 2022, 10:38:58 AM.

By seeing the forum and help session activity, we can see that you are all working diligently on your assignment; please keep it up. The goal of this assignment is to help you advance to a higher level of skill under the guidance of your tutors. Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn before you have to deal with real-world problems on your own!

We're only two weeks away from the end of term! During these two weeks, though, we still have a few exciting things to cover. This week's focus will be on "smart" algorithms, followed by a discussion of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. We'll also touch on some overdue topics, such as file handling and how to make functions more flexible. On Wednesday, we'll release a sample final exam and discuss it briefly in lecture. We have requested that all tutors complete marking Assignment 1 by the end of this week. Please get in touch with them if you have any queries about Assignment 1 marking.

Online module on Matlab with Link to Self-Directed Lab 2

Posted by Ashesh Mahidadia Thursday 07 April 2022, 03:50:21 PM.

Online module on Matlab with Link to Self-Directed Lab 2 is now available. Please read the instructions, you need to watch the required videos before you attempt the following exercises.

Today you should have received an email from "Matlab Grader" to complete Self-Directed Lab 2 exercises. Please check your mail box(s) and look for an email like the following (or something similar), follow the link and complete the exercises before the deadline.

Welcome to Week-8

Posted by Ashesh Mahidadia Monday 04 April 2022, 10:03:19 AM.

This week's lectures will focus on advanced Numpy features and a few fundamental aspects of function design in Python and file handling. The second assignment is now available and will be discussed in detail during tomorrow's lecture. Before the next lesson, please take some time to familiarise yourself with the assignment specification. To be successful in your real-world endeavours, you'll need the confidence that comes from completing such an assignment successfully. Let us know if you have any queries by posting on the forum or attending a help session.

Assignment-2 : now available

Posted by Ashesh Mahidadia Sunday 03 April 2022, 09:49:33 AM.

Assignment 2 is now available. Please read the specs carefully, and if you have any queries, please ask during the next lecture on Tuesday, when we will go over the assignment's tasks and how you can get started.

Welcome to Week 07!

Posted by Ashesh Mahidadia Tuesday 29 March 2022, 10:47:50 AM.

Welcome back! Hopefully, you are now more energised and prepared for the next four weeks, during which we will cover many interesting topics. Today, we'll begin with simulations and learn how to simulate complex systems. Simulation is extremely important in engineering disciplines where new systems/processes must be designed, developed, and/or optimised. This topic is important because it is relevant to your second assignment, so make sure you master the skills.

Just a reminder that Assignment-1 is due tomorrow (Wednesday) at 5pm, and submission instructions are available. Please keep in mind that you may submit multiple times; however, only the most recent submission will be marked.

Assignment-1 submission instructions are now available

Posted by Ashesh Mahidadia Monday 28 March 2022, 09:47:09 PM.

Assignment-1 submission instructions are now available.

To submit Assignment-1, go to the Submission page , click the tab named " Make Submission " and submit the required four files ( calculate_similarity.py, calculate_similarity_list.py, pattern_search_max.py and pattern_search_multiple.py ).

Self-Directed Lab 1 (Spreadsheets) - now available

Posted by Ashesh Mahidadia Monday 14 March 2022, 06:06:50 PM.

Tomorrow I will introduce your first self-directed lab on Spreadsheets. " ENGG1811 Self-Directed Lab 1: Spreadsheets " is now available. It is due at 5pm Wednesday 06 April 2022 (Wednesday of Week-08). Select Labs in the left panel and goto Week-5 .

Welcome to Week-5

Posted by Ashesh Mahidadia Monday 14 March 2022, 12:30:26 PM.

This week is the last before the flexible week starts! So hang on; you'll be having a well-deserved break soon.

We've covered many interesting topics so far, and this week we'll cover one of the essential topics - Numpy . NumPy is the most popular Python package for scientific and engineering computing. It's a Python library that includes a multidimensional array object, derived objects (such as masked arrays and matrices), and a variety of routines for performing fast array operations, such as mathematical, logical, sorting, selecting, basic statistical functions, and more. Tomorrow, we'll begin discussing Numpy and learning how to utilise it efficiently for engineering problem solving through interactive exercises.

Hopefully, you are on track to complete Assignment-1, which is due on Wednesday of Week-7 on. Please write a message on the forum and/or attend one of the many available Help Sessions if you have any questions.

Don't miss today's Live Coding Session by Danyon, click here more information on what will be covered today.

Dear ENGG1811 Students,

Welcome to ENGG1811 (Term 1, 2022), I’m the convenor for the course. There are a number of important points that I’d like to let you know.

• ENGG1811 does not use Moodle. The course website is at https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/ENGG1811/22T1 . We recommend that you bookmark the page.
  .
• The course outline is available on the course website.
  .
• Please note that labs start in Week 01 . Week-01 introductory lab is now available, see "Labs" in the left panel on the class web page . We will use Blackboard Collaborate and Microsoft Teams for your lab work. The first lab will be on Blackboard Collaborate (follow instructions on this page: Online Lectures and Labs ), except for the f2f (face-to-face) lab classes. Students and tutors of the f2f (face-to-face) labs attend in person in the computer labs on the campus.
  .
• Week-01 lecture notes will be available on Monday of Week-01.
  .
• You will be learning to write computer programs in the Python programming language in ENGG1811. We suggest that you install the software " Anaconda for Python 3.7 (or higher) " on your laptop before the first lecture. Instructions for installing this software can be found at the "Getting Started" link on the course website or http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~en1811/resources/getting-started/index.html

Looking forward to the start of Term 1, 2022!
