Learning Outcomes
Subject-specific Knowledge:
- Probability and statistics for engineers
- Advanced mathematical methods for engineering problems
- AHEP4 Learning Outcomes: In order to satisfy Professional Engineering Institution (PEI) accreditation requirements the following Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes (AHEP4) Learning Outcomes are assessed within this module:
- C1. Apply knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles to the solution of complex problems (assessed by coursework and exam).
- C2. Analyse complex problems to reach substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles (assessed by coursework and exam).
- C3. Select and apply appropriate computational and analytical techniques to model complex problems, recognising the limitations of the techniques employed (assessed by coursework and exam).
Subject-specific Skills:
- Application of data analysis techniques using statistics and numerical methods
Key Skills:
- Numerical skills
- Time and resource management
Modes of Teaching, Learning and Assessment and how these contribute to the learning outcomes of the module
- The courses in Probability and Statistics and Numerical Methods are covered in lectures, and are reinforced by regular problem sheets, leading to the required problem solving capability.
- Assessment is through coursework which enables each student to demonstrate an ability to analyse and solve complex and detailed problems.
- Students are encouraged to make use of staff 'Surgeries' (otherwise "Office Hours") to discuss any aspect of the module with teaching staff on a one-to-one basis. These are sign-up sessions available for up to one hour per week.
- Tutorial sessions form part of the department’s Academic Adviser programme.
