Re: Engineering Mathematics

Date: Friday, May 17, 2013

All first year engineering students are required to take MATH1280 Engineering Math I and MATH1290

Engineering Math II as their entry level calculus courses. MATH1280 and MATH1290 are designed to

prepare you specifically for engineering courses, and introduce many engineering modeling ideas, so that

second-year engineering performance is strengthened. MATH1280 and MATH1290 are pre-requisites for

most of the courses in engineering, so it is important that you give these two introductory courses priority

when planning your studies.

Students who already have credit for both MATH1000 and MATH1010 will be required to complete

MATH1290 in either the winter 2014 or summer 2014 term – please consult with me in September if this

applies to you. Note: do not drop MATH1290 unless you meet with an Engineering Advisor and receive

written permission from the Director or the Associate Dean.

In order to determine the preparedness level of incoming students, and to increase student success, we

have prepared a math skills self-assessment. You are required to participate in this assessment even if you

already have transfer credits in calculus. Please go to the site below and follow the instructions and advice.

In particular, if it has been some time since you last did a math course, please obtain a textbook and practise
