What is the key objective of Module 2 in the AFIT curriculum?

The key objective of Module 2 in the AFIT curriculum centers around the application of advanced analytical methods in engineering. This focus equips students with the necessary tools and techniques to tackle complex engineering problems, emphasizing the importance of analytical thinking in the engineering design and analysis process.

By delving into advanced methods, students learn how to approach problems with a systematic framework, utilizing mathematical models and simulations to derive solutions that may not be feasible through traditional approaches. This module is designed to enhance the analytical capabilities of students, preparing them for real-world engineering challenges where data interpretation and decision-making based on robust analysis are crucial.

In contrast, understanding historical engineering developments, an overview of basic engineering principles, and a focus on interdisciplinary communication are essential foundations of engineering education, but they do not align as closely with the advanced analytical focus that Module 2 emphasizes.
