Teaching Approach
There are two primary teaching approaches used in this unit: lectures and support (tutorial) classes. There will be about thirty four lectures in ENG1091, held 3 times a week. The purpose of each lecture is to introduce material (often for the first time) and to show how such material is used to solve problems.

All students are also expected to attend one two-hour support class per week from the second week of semester. The intention of the support classes is to introduce you to, and help you to master, the theory described in lectures by gaining mastery of a range of practice exercises given on the 'problem sets'. Exercises of much greater breadth and depth are dealt with in the support class than is usually dealt with in lectures. Each student will have exactly 11 support classes for ENG1091in weeks 2-12 of semester. An attendance roll will be taken at each class and a 'class participation' mark will be awarded each week. This may also be used to inform academic progress considerations, if requested by the Faculty of Engineering.

Feedback Our Feedback to You

Feedback is provided to ENG1091 students in a variety of ways during the semester, to assist their learning and help them identify the issues for which they may need to seek further assistance. This includes: individual and group consultations with staff during the two-hour weekly support classes; individual assistance through the Mathematics Learning Centre; written feedback on the three assignments, and test, submitted at your support class. These are usually marked and returned at the next class, and with sample solutions available on the Blackboard site; encouraging students to ask questions in or after lectures; individual or group consultations at the lecturer's weekly consultation hours participation in the ENG1091 discussion groups on Blackboard.

Your Feedback to Us
Monash is committed to excellence in education and regularly seeks feedback from students, employers and staff. One of the key formal ways students have to provide feedback is through SETU, Student Evaluation of Teacher and Unit. The Universitys student evaluation policy requires that every unit is evaluated each year. Students are strongly encouraged to complete the surveys. The feedback is anonymous and provides the Faculty with evidence of aspects that students are satisfied with, and areas for improvement. For more information on Monashs educational strategy, and on student evaluations, see: http://www.monash.edu.au/about/monash-directions/directions.html http://www.policy.monash.edu/policy-bank/academic/education/quality/student-evaluation-policy.html

Required Resources
Prescribed text The prescribed textbook for ENG1091 is:
Copyright Monash University 2011. All rights reserved. Except as provided in the Copyright Act 1968, this work may not be reproduced in any form without the written permission of the host Faculty and School/Department.

James, Glyn: Modern Engineering Mathematics, fourth edition 2008, Pearson/Prentice Hall. Some of the problems on the problem sets (see below) refer to this textbook so you will need to have access to it. Copies are available in the library but there are almost 500 students enrolled in ENG1090 and ENG1091 this semester, so you may find it easier to have your own copy. (Note that there is also an Advanced version available in the bookshop, by the same author, but it is not appropriate for this unit. Make sure you obtain the correct one it has a dark blue spine.)

Recommended resources
Lecture notes Copies of the skeleton lecture notes used for ENG1091 are made available on Blackboard. For your convenience, a printed book of these notes can also be purchased from the bookshop The Semester 2 booklet is identical to the Semester 1 booklet, except for the front cover). Note that the skeleton lecture notes do not provide a complete record of the lecture as they do not include the additional worked examples that will be completed by the lecturer (live and by hand) on the overhead projectors. The intention of these printed copies is to enable students to annotate their copy during the lecture and to write in the worked examples for themselves. The material covered in lectures is quite sequential and it is likely that you will fall behind quickly if you miss more than a lecture or two in a row. More so than most other areas of study, mathematics is such that if you dont understand one lecture, then you wont understand the next lecture, because each lecture is very dependent on the previous lectures. Students are therefore actively encouraged to keep up with the lectures and assessments. To help you, a scanned version of the completed lecture transparencies will be available on Blackboard at the end of each week. Problem sets The problem sets can be purchased from the bookshop along with the skeleton lecture notes (in a single package). They can also be downloaded from Blackboard. The problem sets constitute the exercises which you will work through on a week by week basis during your support class. It is not expected that you will complete every exercise in support classes. The extra questions can serve as further practice. While it would be advantageous if you can complete every problem in the problem set booklet, do not attempt to do this at the expense of falling behind. It is far better to pick a range of exercises and complete those. If you have any difficulties with these you should seek assistance in your support class or approach the lecturer. Try the problems for yourself first, but ask for help if you are having trouble getting started. Short answers for most of the exercises are provided but they do not describe how to complete the questions further assistance on details of how to undertake and complete a problem is available on a one-to-one basis during each support class. If you leave all of your queries to just before the end of semester, there will probably be insufficient time or support available to have them answered in time for the final examination so it is strongly advised that you address difficulties as soon as they become apparent. As a means of revision, you may also try questions on some previous examination papers. Copies of a sample examination paper and some past papers will be made available, via Blackboard, towards the end of semester, with sample solutions provided in some cases. If you have queries or difficulties with these, please raise them with the lecturer or in your support class. Additional study resources may also be made available through Blackboard from time to time.

The Engineers Australia Policy on Accreditation of Professional Engineering Programs requires that all programs ensure that their engineering graduates develop to a substantial degree the stage 1 competencies. Listed below are the activities in this unit that will help you to achieve these competencies.

Note: that not all stage 1 competencies are relevant to each unit. Stage 1 competencies
PE1.1 Knowledge of science and engineering fundamentals

Activities used in this unit to develop stage 1 competencies

The lectures, teaching materials and support-class activities develop and assess students knowledge of mathematics and analysis techniques. Relevance to engineering applications is reinforced. Working from first principles is emphasised.

PE1.2 In-depth technical competence in at least one engineering discipline PE1.3 Techniques and resources Mathematical models of simple applications to engineering are introduced, analysed and interpreted in the lectures, prescribed text, problem sets and written assignments.

PE1.4

General knowledge Problem identification, simplification and solution are an essential part of all problem sets, support class activities, written assignments and test. Students are encouraged to explain their mathematical reasoning in words, not just as symbols.

PE2.1 Ability to undertake problem identification, formulation, and solution

PE2.2 Understanding of social, cultural, global, and environmental responsibilities and the need to employ principles of sustainable development PE2.3 Ability to utilise a systems approach to complex problems and to design and operational performance PE2.4 PE2.5 PE2.6 Proficiency in engineering design Ability to conduct an engineering project Understanding of the business environment Students are trained in support classes to write their explanations in a manner that is understandable to their colleagues. This is assessed in assignments. Students are encouraged in both lectures and support classes to express themselves clearly, and draw clear diagrams that illustrate their reasoning. In lectures students are encouraged to develop their own approaches to problems from first principles. Support classes and assignments are used to provide individual feedback on such approaches. Wherever appropriate, students are trained in lectures to understand the relative advantages and disadvantages of different mathematical techniques.

PE3.1 Ability to communicate effectively, with the engineering team and with the community at large PE3.2 Ability to manage information and documentation

PE3.3

Capacity for creativity and innovation

PE3.4 Understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities, and commitment to them PE3.5 Ability to function effectively as an individual and in multidisciplinary and multicultural teams, as a team leader or manager as well as an effective team member PE3.6 Capacity for lifelong learning and professional development PE3.7 Professional attitudes Students are provided with links to supplementary materials on the unit website and encouraged to use other resources that assist their learning.

ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS Assessment Tasks Assessment Task 1: Assignments 1-3

Details of task: Mathematical problem solving. Value: 6% Presentation requirements: Typed or handwritten, (hardcopy only). Criteria for Marking Marks are awarded for showing complete and legible solutions to all of the questions on the assignment. Where appropriate you must offer brief explanations at appropriate points. Assignments are to be submitted in hard copy form to the assignment box of your tutor. Each assessment is marked according to a mark schedule given to each tutor which awards individual marks for completing each significant mathematical step and for providing appropriate explanations. The intention of the assignments is to assist students to keep up with and understand the lecture material, and to provide feedback on how to express themselves both mathematically and in written English. To be successful in this unit, and subsequent engineering mathematics units, students must be able to express a written mathematical argument clearly, using appropriate wording along with mathematical symbols and notation. A model assignment answer is provided on Blackboard as a guide. The key point is that it is not the answer that is important, but rather explaining clearly and logically how it was obtained. It is acknowledged that students can assist their learning by discussing difficulties and helping each other to solve problems. However, there are limits to which they should assist each other in assessed work without it being considered to be inappropriate collusion or cheating. It is therefore expected that all students should complete all final assessed work for ENG1091 individually, and in their own words. Among other things, markers will be looking specifically for instances where the wording of submitted work is very similar, and where there are identical errors in algebraic working or logic. Instances of suspected cheating will be dealt with seriously, in accordance with Faculty and University policies. The unit coordinator also reserves the right to moderate the assessments given by the individual tutors. This process will occur at the end of the semester

Assessment Task 2: Midterm test

Details of task: Short answer questions, of varying difficulty, requiring all relevant working to be shown. No calculators are allowed. Value: 12% Presentation requirements: The test is conducted during your support class. There are several versions of the test given to each tutor; this is done in order to minimise any advantage gained from information transference.

Criteria for Marking

Marks are awarded for showing complete and legible solutions to all of the questions on the test. This includes providing brief explanations of how your answers were obtained.

Examination(s)
There is one formal examination in this unit, worth 70%, which will examine all of the unit material.
