Engineering Mathematics 1

This module will introduce students into varieties of concepts, mathematical techniques and skills to solve relevant engineering problems. Different topics will be covered in this module under three different themes: linear algebra, ordinary differential equations (1st and 2nd order) and infinite series (with single and two variables). The module topics will be covered in lectures, which will also include worked examples to demonstrate to students how to apply the knowledge and techniques presented in the lectures. Class exercise will also be given during lectures to promote student-lecturer and student-student interactions. Additionally, such exercises will serve as a formative assessment and allow the lecturer to gauge students learning and provide immediate feedback.

Complex problems will also be provided in tutorials to allow students to practice and apply the knowledge and skills learnt in lectures.

In addition to formative assessment, summative assessments will also be conducted in this module through two assignments and final examination. The key objective of these summative assessments is to measure the achievements of the module learning outcomes. The two assignments will compromise complex problems, which will require students to pursue some additional knowledge and skills not covered in the lecture notes or in tutorial through independent learning. Final exam will be a comprehensive test covering many knowledge and skills learnt throughout this module.
