Classroom Regulations
1. The use of mobile telephones in the classroom is not permitted. They should be
switched to silent at all times and must not be answered during class.
2. Students must come to class with the necessary study materials/equipment e.g. paper,
pens, calculators, reference notes.
3. Students must attend all classes on time. Students arriving up to ten minutes late will
be recorded as late in the attendance register. Three “lates” constitutes one absence for
attendance calculation purposes. Students arriving more than ten minutes after the class
commencement time will not be admitted to the class and will be marked absent for
that session. They may enter and join the class after the scheduled break. Students not
returning after the scheduled break will be marked as absent.
4. Standards of behaviour in the classroom should be such that all students can study
without disruption.
Failure to adhere to the classroom regulations may render the student subject to disciplinary
action in accordance with the University rules and regulations.
Module Description
This module provides AME learners with the basic techniques to solve mathematical, scientific
and associated engineering problems at technician level. The first learning outcome is intended
as a basic introduction to the arithmetic of elementary calculus. The second learning outcome
will develop learners’ knowledge and understanding of algebraic methods, from a look at the
use of indices in engineering to the use of the algebraic formula for solving quadratic equations.
Finally, the third learning outcome is focused on the simple geometrical constructions and
trigonometric methods
Module Objectives
The primary purpose of this course is to introduce engineering students to the basic
fundamentals and principles of arithmetic, algebraic and trigonometric methods. The course
also aims to develop students’ skills in solving engineering problems and provide them with a
firm foundation upon which to build.
