Module Title:Engineering Mathematics 2
Language of Instruction:English
Credits: 5
NFQ Level:6
Module Delivered In 9 programme(s)
Teaching & Learning Strategies: A series of lectures, tutorials, class-based tasks, and laboratory exercises will be used. The Institute VLE will be used to interactively communicate with students. Computational software will be used to re-enforce the mathematical principles and practices.
Module Aim: To give the students the understanding, competencies and skills necessary to support the mathematical procedures encountered in the other modules of this programme.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to:
LO1 Apply trigonometric ratios to solve triangles and implement theorems in geometry to solve various geometric shapes.
LO2 Use vector operations and apply them in an engineering context.
LO3 Solve logarithmic equations.
LO4 Perform algebraic manipulation with complex numbers.
LO5 Perform mathematical computations of cross module context using computer applications.
