  • Extensions starting with 4, 5, 9 or 3 can also be direct dialled:
    • For extensions starting with 4: dial +64 7 838 extension.
    • For extensions starting with 5: dial +64 7 858 extension.
    • For extensions starting with 9: dial +64 7 837 extension.
    • For extensions starting with 3: dial +64 7 2620 + the last 3 digits of the extension e.g. 3123 = +64 7 262 0123.

Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

This paper covers further topics in statistics and mathematics that are required by the University of Waikato Engineering programmes.

The statistics component of the paper describes how to design and analyse experiments to extract maximum information from relatively few runs (ISO 12845 and ISO 13195), and how to use basic statistical concepts to monitor process output and implement quality improvement (ISO 11462).

The mathematics component of the paper looks at techniques for finding analytical solutions to ordinary and partial differential equations that arise in engineering. It also considers numerical techniques for: solving nonlinear equations, approximation of functions, and solving differential equations.

Paper Structure

Edit Paper Structure Content

This paper is taught through weekly lectures and a weekly tutorial held during a lecture hour (a "lectorial").

The Statistics half of the paper will make use of the statistical software package Minitab, which is freely available to students of this paper (see the ENGEN301 Moodle page for instructions to download/activate your own copy). Access to a computer lab in R-block will also be available for students who wish to use Minitab on a university computer.

The last quarter of the paper will make use of the Matlab package. Information about computer access for this will be provided later.

Assessment

Edit Assessments Content

The test will be held on Thursday, 23 May, during the scheduled double hour for that day.

The "D" rule: The requirements for an unrestricted pass (C-­ or better) are a minimum overall mark of 50% for the whole paper and a minimum mark of 40% for the final examination.

Assessment Components

Edit Assessments Content

The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 50:50. There is no final exam. The final exam makes up 50% of the overall mark.

The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 50:50 or 0:0, whichever is more favourable for the student. The final exam makes up either 50% or 0% of the overall mark.
