SCE2025 @ RWTH
Sustainable Computational Engineering
Welcome
Dear students,
Welcome to homepage of Sustainable Computational Engineering (SCE) course offered by the Chair of Methods for Model-based Development in Computational Engineering at RWTH Aachen University
SCE introduces into the elements of data life cycle and model development cycle to students interested in data-integrated and potentially high-throughput modelling tasks. The complementary exercise intensifies content of the lecture with theoretical and application-oriented examples. Students are advised to check out Course Schedule and Exercises and for slots, topics addressed, and hands-on assignments. Also check out Lecture Slides for the slides presented during lecture sessions.
The RWTH Moodle platform is used in conjunction with this webpage. The RWTH Moodle will be used for:
- announcements (change of dates/rooms, exam related information)
- lecture resources
- exercise submission
- exercise solutions
- project submissions
This webpage will be used for sharing:
- general information
- lecture notes
- exercises
Grading
- Grading is done based on research projects in which you develop a Python package. Main idea of your package can be:
- Your own research interest
- A reproducibility study
- An interactive visualisation dashboard
- Surrogate modelling
- Data-driven modelling
- You will submit a Python package (A very useful guide py-pkgs.org/welcome) which
- is installable
- has a folder structure, e.g. github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter
- has a fully documented git repository with history of commits
- Projects
- Interim presentation (20 points)
- Final presentation (50 points)
- Project folder submission (30 points)
- Exercises (+10 points)
- 10 exercises in total
- Solved in class
- BONUS!
