You need to use your UWinsor username and password.

Pre-requisites: None
Restrictions: Open to Masters of Engineering students, excluding
students in the MEng Auto Program. Open to engineering
MSc/PhD students on permission of the department/faculty as a
qualifying course only but cannot be counted as credit towards
MSc/PhD degree.

Required textbook:
Greenberg, Michael D.
Advanced Engineering Mathematics, 2nd edition, (1998)

Recommended Practice questions are from Textbook.

Course objectives: The course will develop skills in advanced modern engineering
mathematics. It will be taken into consideration that students will need to be brought
up to speed on more basic elements of engineering mathematics.

2
 Subjects will be covered (tentative)

 First Order Ordinary Differential (methods of separation of variables, Integration factors,

variation of parameters, and exact equations)
 Higher order ODE with constant coefficients (method of undetermined coefficients,
method of power series, we also study Taylor series)
 Fourier Analysis, Fourier series
 Partial Differential Equations, Heat, wave, Laplace
 Laplace transformation (ODE with Laplace and convolution theorem)
 Eigenvalue and Eigenfunction problems (Sturm-Liouville problems)
 Numerical method

Evaluation
 Evaluation:
 There will be 2 midterms on (TBA), see the tentative schedule.
 Each midterm is worth 30% of the course mark.
 There will be a cumulative final exam which is worth 40%. (date will be
announce by registrar office, check your uwinsite)

NOTE: If you miss a test for a valid reason, then you should make it up by arranging
with me immediately.
Homework (Practice questions): There will be some extra recommended HMW
questions to understand the subjects of the course better. However there will not be
marked.

Important Dates

Engineers’ Canada, Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) Criteria

What are the CEAB Graduate Attributes Criteria? This information, including the CEAB Graduate Attribute Criteria
descriptions, is taken from.
The criteria are intended to provide a broad basis for identifying acceptable undergraduate engineering programs, to
prevent over-specialization in curricula, to provide sufficient freedom to accommodate innovation in education, to allow
adaptation to different regional factors, and to permit the expression of the institution’s individual qualities, ideals, and
educational objectives. They are intended to support the continuous improvement of the quality of engineering
education.

This course will develop the following CEAB Graduate Attributes Criteria:
Course
CEAB Graduate Attributes Criteria Learning
Outcomes
1. A knowledge base for engineering
Demonstrated competence in University level mathematics, natural sciences, engineering fundamentals, and X
specialized engineering knowledge appropriate to the program.

2. Problem analysis
An ability to use appropriate knowledge and skills to identify, formulate, analyze, and solve complex engineering X
problems in order to reach substantiated conclusions.

3. Investigation
An ability to conduct investigations of complex problems by methods that include appropriate experiments,
analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information in order to reach valid conclusions.

4. Design
An ability to design solutions for complex, open-ended engineering problems and to design systems, components
or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate attention to health and safety risks, applicable
standards, economic, environmental, cultural and societal considerations.

5. Use of engineering tools

An ability to create, select, apply, adapt, and extend appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering
X
tools to a range of engineering activities, from simple to complex, with an understanding of the associated
limitations.

6. Individual and team work

An ability to work effectively as a member and leader in teams, preferably in a multi-disciplinary setting.

7. Communication skills
An ability to communicate complex engineering concepts within the profession and with society at large. Such
abilities include reading, writing, speaking and listening, and the ability to comprehend and write effective reports
and design documentation, and to give and effectively respond to clear instructions.

8. Professionalism
An understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the professional engineer in society, especially the primary
role of protection of the public and the public interest.

9. Impact of engineering on society and the environment

An ability to analyze social and environmental aspects of engineering activities. Such abilities include an
understanding of the interactions that engineering has with the economic, social, health, safety, legal, and cultural
aspects of society; the uncertainties in the prediction of such interactions; and the concepts of sustainable design
and development and environmental stewardship.

10. Ethics and equity

An ability to apply professional ethics, accountability, and equity.

11. Economics and project management

An ability to appropriately incorporate economics and business practices including project, risk and change
management into the practice of engineering, and to understand their limitations.

12. Life-long learning x
