Description
To develop a solid and instinctive understanding of the fundamental mathematical generalisations, associated methods and practical mathematical skills central to engineering problem-solving in the fields of electronic and mechanical engineering.
To continue the students' development of their skills of analysing problems in a rational and methodical manner and their use of reasoning by analogy.
A significant element of the T&L strategy is to motivate the relevance of the mathematical ideas by appropriate applications. The emphasis throughout is on student insight and understanding, not rigorous proof, and on communication of mathematical ideas in terms of diagrams, words, formulas and numbers, not formulas alone. However, some mathematical proofs are used as tools for developing logical and mathematical reasoning.

| Reassessment Requirement Type |
Resit arrangements are explained by the following categories;
RC1: A resit is available for both* components of the module.
RC2: No resit is available for a 100% coursework module.
RC3: No resit is available for the coursework component where there is a coursework and summative examination element.
* ‘Both’ is used in the context of the module having a coursework/summative examination split; where the module is 100% coursework, there will also be a resit of the assessment
