Analytical Methods for Engineers (part-time bite-sized HE Course)

During this course you will learn how: Analyse and model engineering situations and solve problems using algebraic methods Analyse and model engineering situations and solve problems using trigonometric methods Analyse and model engineering situations and solve problems using calculus Analyse and model engineering situations and solve problems using statistics and probability What skills will I gain? • By studying this course you will: Develop your previous mathematical knowledge and use fundamental algebra, trigonometry, calculus, statistics and probability for the analysis, modelling and solution of realistic engineering problems Explore algebraic methods - including polynomial division, exponential, trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, arithmetic and geometric progressions - in an engineering context and express variables as power series Develop your understanding of sinusoidal functions in an engineering concept - such as AC Waveforms - together with the use of trigonometric identities Gain knowledge of statistics and probability by looking at tabular and graphical representation of data, measures of mean, median, mode and standard deviation, the use of linear regression in engineering situations, probability and the Normal distribution How will I be assessed? This is an assignment-based course and there are no exams You will be continually assessed throughout the course via assignments and the production of a detailed portfolio What can I do next? Completion of the module will enable you to: Use the skills you have gained in the workplace Continue with further study and progress to the HNC/D in engineering
