Study the effect of randomness on the algorithms. To recognize and apply some commonly used metaheuristic algorithms.

Learning Outcomes PO MME
The students who succeeded in this course:
LO-1 74/5000 Understanding the use of algorithms and engineering Metaheuristic PO-1 Sufficient knowledge in mathematics, science and engineering related to their branches; the ability to apply theoretical and practical knowledge in these areas to model and solve engineering problems.
PO-2 The ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems; selecting and applying appropriate analysis and modeling methods for this purpose.
Examination
LO-2 Understanding single-solution and population-based algorithms PO-2 The ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems; selecting and applying appropriate analysis and modeling methods for this purpose.
PO-3 The ability to design a complex system, process, device or product under realistic constraints and conditions to meet specific requirements; the ability to apply modern design methods for this purpose. (Realistic constraints and conditions include such issues as economy, environmental issues, sustainability, manufacturability, ethics, health, safety, social and political issues, according to the nature of design.)
PO-11 Information on the effects of engineering applications on health, environment and safety in the universal and social dimensions and the problems of the times; awareness of the legal consequences of engineering solutions.
