 Module Aims, Learning Outcomes and Indicative Contents
‫أهداف المادة الدراسية ونتائج التعلم والمحتويات اإلرشادية‬

1. The aims of the modules are - To introduce engineering students to

the central role that mathematics plays in the development and
practice of engineering. To motivate the comprehension and use of
important analytical concepts, calculus methods and linear
Module Aims
mathematics fundamental to engineering. To help students to
‫أهداف المادة الدراسية‬ begin to develop the skill of analysing problems in a rational
(rigorous, logical) and methodical manner. To develop the students’
ability to transfer their mathematical understanding (and the
associated methods) to diverse engineering application areas.
2. This course is to provide students with a Functions; Domain and
range of functions; composite functions; Limits and continuity;
Differentiation; Applications of differentiation (curve sketching,
maxima and minima and rates of change) .

1. Recognize and be able to apply mathematical tools and techniques to solve

engineering based problems.
2. Appropriately apply and manipulate real-valued functions commonly used in
Module Learning engineering applications
Outcomes 3. Demonstrate a repertoire of problem-solving skills and an ability to
generalise and transfer ideas, appropriate to simple engineering applications
of mathematical concepts
‫مخرجات التعلم للمادة الدراسية‬ 4. Demonstrate an understanding of mathematics and mathematical processes
consistent with the syllabus. Reason logically and recognize incorrect
reasoning.

5. Use mathematical terminology and formulae to communicate effectively to

other technically literate people

Indicative Contents Indicative content includes the following.

‫المحتويات اإلرشادية‬
Modelling with Functions: How do we use mathematics to describe related
quantities?
2. Limits: How do we work with the infinitely small and the infinitely large?
3. The Derivative: In what different ways can rates of change be represented? How
are rates of change described and used?
4.Computing Derivatives: How are derivatives efficiently computed?
5. Using the Derivative: How can we use the derivative to solve complex problems
from the sciences?
6. The Area Problem: How is the rate of change problem related to the area problem?

Note: Marks Decimal places above or below 0.5 will be rounded to the higher or lower full mark (for example a
mark of 54.5 will be rounded to 55, whereas a mark of 54.4 will be rounded to 54. The University has a policy NOT
to condone "near-pass fails" so the only adjustment to marks awarded by the original marker(s) will be the
automatic rounding outlined above.
