| Module Description: |
This module is designed to support transferees into Stage 2 of an Engineering programme in the two separate areas of CAD and Mathematics. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
Perform basic operations in algebra and trigonometry for engineering |
| LO2 |
Differentiate and integrate a wide range of functions. |
| LO3 |
Be able to produce engineering sketches and formal drawings using a CAD package |
| LO4 |
Be able to produce electrical circuit and electrical services drawings in accordance with standards |
| Pre-requisite learning |
Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named CIT module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s). |
| No recommendations listed |
Incompatible Modules
These are modules which have learning outcomes that are too similar to the learning outcomes of this module. You may not earn additional credit for the same learning and therefore you may not enrol in this module if you have successfully completed any modules in the incompatible list. |
| No incompatible modules listed |
Co-requisite Modules

| No Co-requisite modules listed |
Requirements
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is mandatory before enrolment in this module is allowed. You may not enrol on this module if you have not acquired the learning specified in this section. |
| This module is designed to enable mature or qualified apprentices students enter a programme which already had first year mathematics and CAD modules completed at level 7. This module would then be done in their first semester, typically semester 1, stage 2 when they enter. |
