Aims
The aim of this module is to develop students’ skills in the mathematical principles and theories that underpin the engineering curriculum. Students will be introduced to mathematical methods and statistical techniques in order to analyse and solve problems within an engineering context.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Identify the relevance of mathematical methods to a variety of conceptualised engineering examples.
2.
Investigate applications of statistical techniques to interpret, organise and present data.
3.
Use analytical and computational methods for solving problems by relating sinusoidal wave and vector functions to their respective engineering applications.
4.
Examine how differential and integral calculus can be used to solve engineering problems.
