Engineering Optimization

This document outlines the course content for an engineering optimization subject at Gujarat Technological University. The course covers general characteristics of mechanical elements and design optimization principles. It teaches single and multivariable optimization techniques including unconstrained minimization methods, direct and indirect methods with constraints, and genetic algorithms. Engineering applications of optimization techniques to structural design, shafts, bars, columns, torsion members, and springs are also covered. Students will use MATLAB's optimization toolbox to solve practical problems.
