What is Soft Computing ? (adapted from L.A. Zadeh) Lecture 1 What is soft computing Techniques used in soft computing • Soft computing differs from conventional (hard) computing in that‚ unlike hard computing‚ it is tolerant of imprecision‚ uncertainty‚ partial truth‚ and approximation. In effect‚ the role model for soft computing is the human mind. 1 2 What is Hard Computing? • Hard computing‚ i.e.‚ conventional computing‚ requires a precisely stated analytical model and often a lot of

1. The first Skills Lab was designed in order to introduce us to the course‚ prepare us for working in teams‚ and for preparing us for success in this course and our future engineering courses. During this lab we were able to see the importance of teamwork in engineering and learn the names of those we will be working with in this course. We discussed the norms of being on a team and how we must work together to complete our goals. Along with how we must work together in teams we learned how to avoid
