    FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

    Module: Engineering Mathematics I


    Code: TEGM3591
    Academic Year: 2021
    Semester: 1
    Contact Hours: 3 Online lectures + 2 Tutorials per week
    Lecturer: Mr. N. N Indongo (Ext: 4239. Office number: CV118)

    Assessment Criteria

    The continuous assessment (CA) contributes 50% (3 Face to Face Tests + 3 Online Quizzes +2
    Assignments) of the final marks and examination contributes 50% of the final marks

    Course objectives are:

    To cultivate and nature basic problem-solving skills and relate the subject to basic applications in
    mathematical modeling (Economics, Demography, and various Engineering areas).

    Expected learning outcomes: upon completion of this module, students will be able to:

    o Solve basic mathematics and engineering problems using vectors and matrices.
    o Use various mathematical functions and apply them to engineering.
    o Apply trigonometry in solving mathematical and engineering problems.
    o Perform functions transformations (Cartesian/polar), sketch and name some polar graphs.
    o Apply the principle of differentiation/integration to solve basic mathematical
    and engineering problems.
    o Define, interpret complex numbers and to perform elementary complex numbers algebra.
