What this paper is about
The first two-thirds of ENGEN201 teaches multi-variable calculus and vector calculus, extending the one-variable calculus from ENGEN102. The first two-thirds of this paper is co-taught with MATHS201.
The last third teaches ordinary differential equations and Laplace transform.
The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1-WA11. Explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/
How this paper will be taught
This is a lecture/tutorial-based paper with five contact hours per week -- 3 lectures, 1 workshop and 1 tutorial. Lectures will be delivered live, and will be recorded and posted on Moodle.
Lecture 04 (Thursday 9am) is normally used for workshop/quiz, but during Week 1 it will be used for regular lecture.
Required Readings
Engineering Mathematics, K. A. Stroud (with Dexter Booth), 7th Edition,
or Higher Engineering Mathematics (8th or 9th Edition), John Bird.
You should already own either of these textbooks, which was used in first year.
Advanced Engineering Mathematics, K. A. Stroud (with Dexter Booth), 5th or 6th Edition. This textbook will also be used for ENGEN301.
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the course should be able to:
Assessments
How you will be assessed
The assessment mark will consist of :
TWO Tests each worth 15% for a total of 30%
- Test dates: Test 1 on Monday 1 May. Test 2 on Monday 15 May. Time: 6:30-7:30pm. Rooms: to be announced.
- If a test is missed due to illness or other good reason, the lecturer must be notified as soon as practicable. Appropriate documentation (for example a medical certificate issued by a doctor) must be supplied.
A workshop grade worth 5%
- There will be 11 workshops and the best 9 marks will be counted.
- The best (n-2) policy is intended to allow students to miss one or two workshops due to illness or other good reason without requiring us to process medical certificates. Where serious illness may cause a more prolonged absence, please consult the lecturer.
An assignment component of 15%
- There will be 11 tutorial based assignments of which only the best 9 marks will be counted. Assignments should be your own work and copying may lead to referral to the university disciplinary committee.
- The best (n-2) policy is intended to allow students to miss one or two assignments due to illness or other good reason without requiring us to process medical certificates. Where serious illness may cause a more prolonged absence, please consult the lecturer.
The external exam worth 50%
- The "D" rule: The requirements for an unrestricted pass (C- or better) are a minimum overall mark of 50% for the whole paper and a minimum mark of 40% for the exam.
- Exam will be held during one of the two exam weeks (12-23 June), to be scheduled centrally by the university.
If you are enrolled on a BE(Hons), samples of your work may be required as part of the Engineering New Zealand accreditation process for BE(Hons) degrees. Any samples taken will have the student name and ID redacted. If you do not want samples of your work collected then please email the engineering administrator, Natalie Shaw (natalie.shaw@waikato.ac.nz), to opt out.
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 50:50. The final exam makes up 50% of the overall mark.
