INTRODUCTIONThis Delivery Guide has been developed to provide practitioners with a variety of creative and practical ideas to support the delivery of this qualification. The Guide is a collection of lesson ideas with associated activities, which you may find helpful as you plan your lessons.

OCR has collaborated with current practitioners to ensure that the ideas put forward in this Delivery Guide are practical, realistic and dynamic. The Guide is structured by learning outcome so you can see how each activity helps you cover the requirements of this unit.

We appreciate that practitioners are knowledgeable in relation to what works for them and their learners. Therefore, the resources we have produced should not restrict or impact on practitioners’ creativity to deliver excellent learning opportunities.

Whether you are an experienced practitioner or new to the sector, we hope you find something in this guide which will help you to deliver excellent learning opportunities.

If you have any feedback on this Delivery Guide or suggestions for other resources you would like OCR to develop, please email [email protected].

Unit aimOnce the key mathematical techniques needed for engineering are learnt, they need to be applied to engineering problems. Understanding mathematics in an applied engineering context is what distinguishes the engineer from the pure mathematician.

The aim of this unit is to extend and apply the knowledge of the learner gained in Unit 1 Mathematics for engineering. It is therefore strongly recommended that learners have completed Unit 1 Mathematics for engineering prior to commencing the study of this unit.

By completing this unit learners will:

• be able to apply trigonometry and geometry to a range of engineering situations

• be able to apply knowledge of algebra, equations, functions and graphs to engineering problems

• be able to use calculus to analyse a range of problems

• understand applications of matrix and vector methods

• be able to apply mathematical modelling skills.

GENERAL DELIVERY GUIDANCEIt is recommended that delivery of this unit is conducted through a combination of formal lessons, tutorials and practical problem solving sessions. In addition to providing a solid grounding in the mathematical techniques specified in the Learning Outcomes (LOs), teachers should emphasise the practical application of all topics. This should be accomplished by discussing with learners practical, engineering problems similar to the examples given in LO5. Teachers should bear in mind that the nature of all questions in the examination will be set in an applied context. Examination questions will often involve more than one single LO and so it is important that all LOs are as treated equally important.

There is no formal requirement for coursework in this unit; however, learners would benefit from being provided regularly with example exercises. Teachers should encourage learners to explore alternative solutions to problems where possible and to check the feasibility and credibility of solutions. Learners should therefore review their

numerical results in the context of the situation to confirm that results obtained are practical and reasonable.

Although computers and programmable calculators are not allowed in the examination, learners should be encouraged to use available computer software to tabulate results, produce graphs and perform numerical calculations. This will allow learners to check their own work quickly and will encourage them to explore alternative formulae and solutions. The use of spreadsheets would be particularly appropriate here. For each of the three lesson elements given in this guide an example spreadsheet is provided.

Learners should be given access to Formulae Booklet for Level 3 Cambridge Technicals in Engineering (available from http://www.ocr.org.uk/qualifications/cambridge-technicals-engineering-level-3-certificate-extended-certificate-foundation-diploma-diploma-05822-05825/).

Tutorial 3 Learners could be presented with a range of practical situations which involve the formation of mathematical models and their solution. Some suggestions are shown in the exemplification column of the LO but others could be obtained from appropriate resources. The past examination papers, inserts and mark schemes for OCR’s H860 specification would be helpful here and are available at:

http://www.ocr.org.uk/qualifications/other-general-qualifications-mathematics-for-engineering-level-3-certificate-h860/

Where necessary, appropriate physical laws (e.g. Ohm’s law, Kirchhoff’s laws, Newton’s laws, Hooke’s law etc.) should be used. For examination purposes, learners are not required to remember such laws since these will be provided when and where necessary.

Example

A tank in the shape a 1 m cube is completely full of water when an outlet value at its base is opened. Water then flows out of the tank at a rate which is directly proportional to the height of water in the tank, h m. The height of water in the tank is modelled by the following equation.

dh = –

hdt 20

where t is time in seconds.

Calculate the time it will take for half of the water to be drained from the tank.

Calculate the height of water in the tank 30 s after the valve is opened.

At the time when the height of water in the tank becomes 0.5 m, calculate the rate at which water flows out of the valve in terms of litres per second.

Explain why, according to the model, the tank never becomes completely empty.
