This course is designed to prepare students to successfully write the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering
Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) Professional Practice Examination (PPE), required for certification for
engineering technicians and technologists by this professional certifying body. The basics of the association's
structure, contract law, ethics, and professional practice will be examined. The student assessment will include
practice examinations similar to OACETT's PPE.
The basic concepts of calculus are introduced through an emphasis on applications and examples. Topics include limits, simple derivatives, derivatives of trigonometric and logarithmic functions, applications of derivatives, curve sketching, integration and applications of integration.
This advanced course in calculus contains some special methods of integration, Maclaurin, Taylor and Fourier series, various types of first and second order differential equations, an introduction to Laplace transforms, and applications to the electrical/electronics area.Prerequisite: OL722 Calculus
This course is oriented towards applications of differentiation and integration to analyze and solve problems from main areas of engineering technology. Topics covered include: limits, derivatives of algebraic and transcendental functions and their applications, integration of algebraic and transcendental functions and its applications and selected methods of integration.
Note: It is recommended that students have completed a Math course which covers algebra, linear, quadratic and higher degree equations, systems of equations, exponents, radicals and complex numbers, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions, vectors and oblique triangles and plane analytic geometry.
This course is a continuation of OL617 Technical Mathematics for engineering technology students. Topics of study include a more detailed view of exponents and radicals, plane analytic geometry, geometry, complex numbers, and functions including trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions. This course also includes an introduction to statistics. The goals of this course are, first to show that mathematics does play a most important role in the development and understanding of the various fields of technology and secondly, to ensure that students acquire the mathematical and critical thinking skills necessary to analyze and solve engineering technology problems. Pre-requisite: OL617 Technical Mathematics
This course introduces students to applications of differentiation and integration in selected areas of calculus and their usage in main areas of engineering technology. Topics covered include theory and applications of Maclaurin, Taylor and Fourier series, linear differential equations, functions of two and more variables, double integrals, Laplace transform and introduction to Fourier transform.
