Year 1

Autumn session

All students undertaking the Bachelor of Engineering are required to enroll in 300743 Mathematics for Engineers Preliminary and undertake a diagnostic test at the beginning of their study. The diagnostic test will be conducted at the beginning of the first semester of enrolment and the result will be used to determine whether a student will remain in 300743 Mathematics for Engineers Preliminary or be transferred by the School to 200237 Mathematics for Engineers 1. Students remaining in 300743 Mathematics for Engineers Preliminary will be required to complete 200237 Mathematics for Engineers 1 during second semester and be encouraged to complete 200238 Mathematics for Engineers 2 during the Summer session.
