In this unit, you will apply essential mathematical concepts, processes, and techniques to support the development of mathematical descriptions and models for problems in science and engineering domains. You will investigate and apply the properties of linear, quadratic, exponential, and logarithmic functions in appropriate settings, use trigonometric functions to solve relevant problems and describe periodic phenomena. You will also learn and apply principles of applied calculus for describing and solving engineering problems. Other important elements of this unit are the effective communication of results, concepts, and ideas using mathematics as a language in a way that demonstrates a clear, logical, and precise approach.

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
