Aims of Module
To provide the student with the ability to apply advanced level mathematics to engineering problems.

Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
1 Calculate and understand simple descriptive and summary statistics, and apply elementary probability theory to problems in engineering.
2 Solve first and second order ordinary differential equations by algebraic methods and carry out partial differentiation and apply it to problems in Science and Engineering.
3 Apply Fourier series techniques and apply Laplace transform methods to problems involving simple linear systems.
4 Apply the principles of thermal-fluid science to problems involving power processes and flow systems.
5 Understand vibration analysis of simple systems, and how to apply them to the design and analysis of engineering systems.

Module Delivery
The module is delivered in Blended Learning mode using structured online learning materials/activities and directed study, facilitated by regular online tutor support. Workplace Mentor support and work-based learning activities will allow students to contextualise this learning to their own workplace. Face-to-face engagement occurs through annual induction sessions, employer work-site visits, and modular on-campus workshops.
