Course Title: DIFFRENTIAL EQUATIONS
Course Credits: 3 units Contact Hours/Week: 3 hours
Course Description: This course is intended for all engineering students to have a firm foundation on differential equations in
preparation for their degree-specific advanced mathematics courses. It covers first order linear differential
equations. It also introduces the concept of Laplace Transforms in solving differential Equations. The
students are expected to able to recognize different kinds of differential equations, determine the existence
and uniqueness of solution, select the appropriate methods of solution and interpret the obtained solution.
Students are also expected to relate differential equations to various practical engineering and scientific
problems as well as employ computer technology in solving and verifying solutions.
Prerequisite: Calculus 2
Course Learning Outcomes: After completing this course, the student must be able to:
1. Apply integration for the evaluation of areas, volumes of revolution, force and work
2. Use integration techniques on single and multi-variable functions
3. Explain the physical interpretation of the double and triple integral.

Number of Hours: 3 hours every week for 18 weeks or 54 hours in a semester

university. your penmanship is readable. The deadline of submission for the laboratory exercise is three
(3) days after performing the laboratory exercise. Late submission of laboratory report will
mean a deduction of 10% per day.
11. Laboratory exercises will be done individually and, hence, the submission of a laboratory
report. The laboratory report should have a cover page that includes the laboratory exercise
number, title of the laboratory exercise, name of student, and name of professor.
12. Long, Mid-Term and Final Examinations should be written on clean A4 bond paper or yellow
paper on one (1) side only. Instructions on how to answer the examination are to be given in
the questionnaire.
13. Excuse from classes and examinations may be honoured only if VALID REASON is
presented.
14. Absence during laboratory exercise without valid reasons means zero for that particular
laboratory exercise. Otherwise, if there is valid reason, the student will be allowed to perform
the laboratory exercise and to submit the laboratory report a week thereafter.
15. Absence during a long, mid-term, or final examination without valid reason means zero for
that particular examination. Otherwise, if there is valid reason, a special examination may be
given upon mutual agreement of the student and professor as to the schedule of said special
examination.
16. Absence in a quiz means zero and no special quiz will be given quizzes will be given
unannounced.
