This unit provides support in the development of independent study and research skills required for the current and subsequent engineering studies at tertiary level.
The focus of the unit is on developing skills and practice that will help understanding the concepts covered in Engineering Mathematics and Discrete Mathematics . The unit will also focus on developing mathematical thinking and reasoning.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:1. Demonstrate an understanding of how to use available resources efficiently;
2. Demonstrate an understanding of the skills required in conducting effective discussions with peers and staff;
3. Apply mathematical techniques to solve engineering problems;
4. Demonstrate an understanding of basic calculus concepts;
5. Demonstrate an understanding of number systems and symbolic logic;
6. Demonstrate an understanding of algebraic propositions and sequences;
7. Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental concepts of sets and matrices; and
8. Demonstrate the use of appropriate vocabulary associated with each of the topics studied.

Participation requirements
Your participation in workshops activities will enhance your understanding of the unit content and therefore the quality of your assessment responses. Lack of participation may result in your inability to satisfactorily pass assessment items. Experience has shown that students who do not attend classes, have difficulty passing the unit.
Students should also be aware that the subject will be examined on material covered in classes, it is the individual student's responsibility to ensure that they are sufficiently familiar with this material. Attendance at classes is one of the best ways of ensuring this familiarity. While some of the course materials are available online, these are intended to be broad outlines of the lectures. Do not make the mistake of assuming that the materials perfectly substitute for class attendance and participation.
Required IT skills
Students need to possess the ability to use on-line searching tools from the Internet, and a operate a scientific calculator.
