COURSE SPECIFICATION (Mathematics 3)

Course Specification

This course is designed for prospective building and construction engineers. The major focus of the course is on
developing mathematical reasoning and thinking. This course encourages students to formulate conjectures and
to explore mathematical concepts through investigations, use of technology, analytical and logical thinking. This
course is designed to develop students' problem solving, mathematical reasoning and communication skills that
are essential to become effective building and construction engineers. The mathematical content of this course
will include topics from Partial Derivatives, Deferential Equations, Vector.

9. Aims of the Course

This course aims to develop the students’ confidence and skill in dealing with mathematical expressions, to
extend their understanding of calculus, and to introduce some topics which they may not have met at the first
year. It also aims to ease the transition to engineering works and to encourage the student to develop good study
skills. Mathematics is to be used as acalculating and graphical aid.Upon completing this course, the student will
have learned, through appropriate classroom experiences, the following.
•Develop a good understanding of applying partial derivatives and solving first, second and higher order
differential equations.
•To acquire skills needed to integrate functions of all types
•To be prepared for higher level mathematical courses.
•Develop techniques for solving problems that may arise in everyday life.

10· Learning Outcomes, Teaching, Learning and Assessment Methods

A- Knowledge and Understanding

On successful completion of the course, graduates should be able to:
 A1. Applying the deferent order of Partial derivatives for solving the related
engineering problems.
 A2.Define first, second and higher order linear homogeneous and non-
homogeneous differential equations and describe applications of differential
equations in different fields.
 A3. Understanding vectors analysis and application of space vectors.
B- Subject-specific skills
 B1- Discussion and dialogue.
 B2- Brain storming by encouraging students to produce a large number of ideas
about some issue or problem raised during the lecture.
 B3- Self-learning by teaching the student by his own according to his special
abilities and mental and cognitive levels responding to his preferences and
interests to achieve development and integration of his capabilities.
 B4-Cooperative learning by team working.
 B5-Competitive learning by creating a competition among peers.

Teaching and Learning Methods

Theoretical lectures, practical laboratory experiments, discussion and dialogue, brain storming, examples and
questions used to achieve the goals.

Assessment Methods

Daily exams, quizzes, documented examinations, quarterly exams, final exams, oral questions and discussions
during the lectures, and home works.

student.
2. Assigning students to prepare reports on a particular subject and thus motivate students to learn the initial
principles of scientific research.
3. Adoption of the issue of scientific trips to various engineering projects for students as these trips will
contribute to the expansion in the perceptions of students and the recognition of the work field.

Assessment Methods

Daily exams, quizzes, documented examinations, quarterly exams, final exams, oral questions and discussions
during the lectures, and home works.
D- General and Transferable Skills (other skills relevant to employability and personal development)
D1- Increase communication between individuals, which contributes to building of a learning
community.
D2- Development of the various emotional aspects such as nosiness and positive trend towards learning
and social moral and independence in learning and self-confidence.
D3- Developing the skill aspects among students.
D4- Learning to identify the correct priorities for any problem.
D5- Development of the time respect and the time for completion and implementation of works.
D6- Development the spirit of fair competition between working groups in order to achieve work
quality, excellence and diversity in performance.
D7- Development the spirit of creativity and innovation.
D8- Development of work appreciation and taking the responsibility and commitment.
