Introduction

This unit aims to provide students with the mathematical knowledge and skills that are needed to support their concurrent and subsequent engineering studies. The unit includes the following topics: matrices, functions, complex numbers, limits and continuity (including sequences and series), differentiation and integration. The unit provides students with a sound knowledge of mathematical principles and ideas in software engineering. It also provides the students with the mathematical skills for everyday engineering practice. In addition, the unit promotes and strengthens important generic skills, such as communication, analysis and inquiry, problem solving, independent and group working, and professionalism and social responsibility. This unit may be co-taught with Engineering Mathematics (10087).

Learning outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
1. Understand basic concepts of matrices, functions, differentiation and integration; and explain their intuitive meanings to their peers;
2. Carry out the basic techniques and algorithms of matrices, functions, differentiation and integration; using pen and paper in simple situations, a computer in some more complicated ones; and
3. Apply the techniques and algorithms to solve problems and to mathematically model simple applications from engineering, science, finance and other areas.

Graduate attributes

1. 含羞草视频 graduates are professional - use creativity, critical thinking, analysis and research skills to solve theoretical and real-world problems
3. 含羞草视频 graduates are lifelong learners - adapt to complexity, ambiguity and change by being flexible and keen to engage with new ideas
2. 含羞草视频 graduates are global citizens - make creative use of technology in their learning and professional lives

Assessment requirements

Submission of assessment items

Special assessment requirements

Special assessment requirements.

The EM unit uses both formative and summative forms of assessment. Students are required to satisfactorily complete a number of assignments and assessable items and to perform satisfactorily in the final assessment. Specifications for the assignments and requirements for satisfactory completion are given on the EM unit website on Canvas (LearnOnline).

Assignments are meant to be individual work, although talking a problem over with another student or tutor is considered one reasonable way of learning. However, the actual assignment submission must be your own work. Students are expected to familiarise themselves with the University's Student Conduct Rules (). Experience has shown that students who do not do their own work are unlikely to pass the unit.

Assignment submissions will be assessed for addressing the specific requirements of each assignment, as stated in the assignment descriptions. All assessment items will receive a numerical mark, which together in their entirety define a student's final grade and mark as outlined in section 5a.

Responsibility for understanding

If there is any doubt with regard to the requirements of any particular assignments or assessment procedure, the onus for clarifying the issue rests with the student who should
contact the unit Convener or tutor. Further, it is the responsibility of students to ensure that they are correctly enrolled in the unit and that the tutor and Student Administration have their correct contact details.

Final Grade and Mark

To obtain a particular grade in this unit it is necessary that there are no outstanding submissions at the end of Week 13. All assessment items will receive a numerical mark. The final grade will be determined as a weighted average of the individual assessment items as follows:

Final grade = (Test_1 mark + Test_2 mark +Test_3 mark +Test_4 mark) x 0.15 + (Assignment_1 mark + Assignment_2 mark) x 0.20 (note that the marks for each assessment are scaled to 100 before performing this calculation)

To be awarded a particular grade in EM, students must meet all the requirements listed below. That is, all grades are conditional upon the following minimum requirements:

Grade	Numerical Score
Fail	49% or less of combined weighted marks of all assessment items
Pass	50-64% of combined weighted marks of all assessment items
Credit	65-74% of combined weighted marks of all assessment items
Distinction	75-84% of combined weighted score of all assessment item
High Distinction	85-100% of combined weighted score of all assessment item

The unit convener reserves the right to question students orally (either online or face to face) on any assessable component of the unit and adjust grades/marks accordingly (including the final mark/grade).

Academic integrity

Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at 含羞草视频. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.

Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.

含羞草视频 students have to complete the annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).

含羞草视频 uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.

Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and 含羞草视频 (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.

Participation requirements

Your participation in all activities will enhance your understanding of the unit content and therefore the quality of your assessment responses. Lack of participation may result in your inability to satisfactorily pass assessment items. Experience has shown that students who do not attend the classes (either online or face to face) will have difficulty in passing the subject.
