ENGI2211: Engineering Mathematics 2

Please ensure you check the module availability box for each module outline, as not all modules will run in each academic year. Each module description relates to the year indicated in the module availability box, and this may change from year to year, due to, for example: changing staff expertise, disciplinary developments, the requirements of external bodies and partners, and student feedback. Current modules are subject to change in light of the ongoing disruption caused by Covid-19.

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 able to make use of staff 'Tutorial 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.
