Course

Description

This course is a first year mathematics course for the students in Engineering

Technology, Information Technology and Applied Science programs. The Foundation

Mathematics remains as a pre-requisite course for this. It provides the students with

a background of mathematical skills essential for progression to the study of Calculus

and further Engineering Mathematics.

Course

Objectives

and Outcomes

The course bridges the gap in mathematical skills between secondary school and

Higher Education. Prepares students who are going for engineering, science, and

technology oriented specializations to learn and solve mathematical problems in

English. Enables students to meet the prescribed learning outcomes. Prepares

students to acquire necessary knowledge and skills for further studies in their

specializations.


Demonstrate understanding of the definition of a function and its

graph. Describe polynomial functions. Define and manipulate exponential and

logarithmic functions and solve. Problems arising from real life applications.

Understand the inverse relationship between exponents and logarithms

functions and use this relationship to solve related problems. Describe analytically the

trigonometric functions and their inverses. Demonstrate an understanding of

trigonometric identities. Use the law of sines and cosines to solve a triangle and real

life problems. Use appropriate software to interpret equations and graphs. Identify

special notation and formulas for representing and generating sequences and series.

Know the conic sections and understand in particular the parabola, ellipse and

hyperbola and construct their standard equations.

Course

Technical

Skills

Graphing utility is used to refer to any of the various graphing calculators or

computer software packages that might be available for students using this course.

The graphing utility, graphs different functions directly which is the bypass of the

creation of table values using calculator to draw the graphs. The use of graphing

utility is optional within this course.

IRSE 2105 INTRODUCTION TO RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY

Course

Description

This is an introductory course on renewable sources of energy. It is

supported by practical part in which students do practical activities to

verify theoretical concepts and demonstrate the use of renewable

energy. The current flow of energy into the growing global economy is

not sustainable. Renewable energies have become increasingly popular

and more common with policy drivers being put in place to increase

consumer use and production of renewable energy.

Modern society had relied upon largely non-renewable energy which will

exhaust with the passage of time and the use of the non-renewable

energy has large scale detrimental environmental impacts. Renewable

energies have become increasingly popular and lot of importance is

being given to the use of renewable energy policy maker. There has

been historical use of renewable energy, low production with often

intermittent availability, and the inability to capture and store this

form of energy has limited its usage. Today, renewable energies are

becoming more widely utilized and promoted at various scales and with

also emphasizes the relationship between the chemical composition and

structural features of molecules to their function. The role of water &

description of acidic/basic nature of foods is covered. Further, common

natural amino acids and their sequencing in proteins are discussed. Enzymes,

their substrate specificity & mechanisms; vitamins & their role; fats, oils &

lipids as well as food additives are tackled.

Objectives


1. be aware of the solvent properties of water, pH and explain the acid/base.

2. study titration curves in foods.

3. develop knowledge of the commonly occurring amino acids, their structure,

stereochemistry their combination in specific sequence to form complex

proteins and the functional significance of proteins to living organism.

4. have understanding of the structure sugars and polysaccharides and their

structure.

5. understand the structure and properties of fatty acids and of the typical

naturally occurring fatty acids which combine with glycerol to form fats and

oils, neutral lipids, phospholipids, glycolipids and lipoproteins.

6. explore the types of vitamins and their losses and optimization in food and

the role of food additives.

7. develop understanding of the relation between the chemical composition of

the molecules and their function.

Outcomes

A student who satisfactorily completes the course should be able to:

1. describe the role of water as solvent and the pH scale.

2. use his acid/base titration knowledge to determine nature of a food

system.

3. describe the properties and structure of amino acids and the formation of

complex Proteins.

4. list the commonly naturally occurring amino acids, identify the sequence of

amino acids in the protein chain and configuration of the chain.

5. define enzymes and their properties.

6. recognize the substrate specificity of enzymes and the effect of

substrate concentration on enzyme catalysis.

7. describe the mechanism of enzyme action.

8. describe the structural type of a polysaccharide and its conformation and

relate it to its

function.
