DESCRIPTION - summary of the module content
Mathematics is at the heart of all Science and Engineering subjects. This module covers topics that are fundamental to engineers in their professional careers.
In particular, there is a strong emphasis on the direct application of mathematics to engineering problems.
AIMS - intentions of the module
This module will consolidate and improve your mathematical skills to the extent necessary for you to engage in a BEng or MEng engineering degree programme, also these skills will be useful in your future career. You will develop a knowledge and understanding of mathematical principles necessary to underpin your education in engineering-related areas and enable you to apply mathematical methods, tools and notations proficiently in the analysis and solution of engineering problems.
This module covers Specific Learning Outcomes in Engineering, which apply to accredited programmes at Bachelors/MEng/Masters level. These contribute to the educational requirements for CEng registration (as defined under the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence – UK-SPEC).
This module correlates to references U2, E1, E2, E3 and E4. These references are indices of the specific learning outcomes expected of Bachelors/MEng/Masters candidates set out in UK-SPEC, codified with reference to systems used by professional accrediting institutions. A full list of the standards can be found on the Engineering Council's website, at http://www.engc.org.uk
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOs) (see assessment section below for how ILOs will be assessed)
On successful completion of this module you should be able to:
Module Specific Skills and Knowledge
- demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of, and work with, functions in one, two or three variables, complex number and analytic functions, vector algebra involving lines and planes including the scalar (dot) and vector (cross) product, matrices including eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix, differentiation and integration and first and second order ordinary differential equations (applying them to simple problems in mechanics, electrical circuit theory and evolution problems), essential statistics and probability;
Discipline Specific Skills and Knowledge
- formulate questions in mathematical terms and hence solve problems encountered in engineering-related areas
- take data from a range of sources and undertake simple modelling tasks
Personal and Key Transferable / Employment Skills and Knowledge
- apply mathematical principles to systematically analyse problems;
- communicate mathematical concepts and processes coherently, both orally and in writing, using correct notation.
- demonstrate familiarity with all essential IT systems to support personal study and communicate your ideas including a text processor and a spreadsheet package.
