COURSE OUTLINE SEARCH

Course Rationale

This is a second course in mathematics designed to provide students with the mathematical skills that they will need in their career, including: • Identifying the premises and assumptions underlying technical problems. • Selecting relevant and useful information within the given data to achieve a solution to the problem. • Organizing and analyzing data using tables, diagrams, and graphs. • Formulating graphical and symbolic models to test hypotheses in applications. • Applying critical and mathematical thinking to solve problems in their fields of expertise. By working through numerous examples and exercises that are drawn from real-world technical application, students will also develop the confidence and versatility in using mathematical tools while appreciating the relevance of these tools in allied technical fields of study.

Essential Skills

Prior Learning Assessment & Recognition (PLAR)

Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) is the formal evaluation and credit-granting process whereby candidates may obtain credits for prior learning. Prior learning includes the knowledge competencies and skills acquired, in both formal and informal ways, outside of post-secondary education. Candidates may have their knowledge, skills and competencies evaluated against the learning outcomes as defined in the course outline. Please review the Assessment Methods Glossary for more information on the Learning Portfolio assessment methods identified below.

The method(s) that are used to assess prior learning for this course may include:

• Challenge Exam (results recorded as a % grade and added to student’s CGPA)

Please contact the Program Coordinator for more details.
