ENGI 9420 Engineering Analysis
Course Outline & Evaluation Scheme

The Memorial University of Newfoundland Code

“All members of the Memorial University of Newfoundland Community, which includes students, faculty, and staff, shall treat others with respect and fairness, be responsible and honest, and uphold the highest standards of academic integrity.”

Statement of Expectations of Student Conduct

“Like Professional Engineers, engineering students are expected to behave in a professional manner at all times.   Students are encouraged to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the PEG-NL code of ethics.   MUN has two sets of rules which deal with inappropriate behaviour by students. The first set deals with academic offences such as cheating while the other set deals with non-academic offences such as disruptive behaviour in class.   Both sets of rules can be found in the University Calendar under Regulations.   It is strongly recommended that students read and follow these rules because the penalties can be severe, the severest being expulsion from the University.”

Most of the resources for this course are available on the course web site.   Visit this web site often!

Assignment questions and solutions will be made available on this web site only.

Assignments will be due approximately once every two weeks during the semester.
Collectively, the best five assignments are worth 30% of the final grade.
The tentative schedule of assignments is:

Assignment	Due date	Likely topics
1	Sept. 17	First order ODEs
2	Sept. 24	Second order ODEs, Laplace transforms
3	Oct. 10	series solutions of ODEs; Gaussian elimination; numerical methods
4	Oct. 22	Eigenvalues; stability analysis
5	Nov. 05	Stability analysis; gradient operators
6	Nov. 19	Calculus of variations; Fourier series

There will be one mid term test, worth 20% of the final grade, on a date in October to be decided after consultation with the class, (probably October 15 or 16).   In the event that a lecture is cancelled on the day of the test, then it will take place during the next available lecture period of this course.   No deferred tests will be offered.   Marked assignments and tests will be returned in lecture periods.

Each student will be permitted to use one double-sided formula sheet of the student’s own design, maximum size 8½"×11", during the mid term test.   There are no restrictions at all on the content of the formula sheet.   Two such sheets may be used during the final examination.

The final examination will account for the remaining 50% of the marks in this course and may cover any topics in the entire course.

You may need a calculator for the test and the final examination.   Only calculators with no capability for communication with other devices are permitted.

You will need to purchase “Engineering 9420 Engineering Analysis Lecture Notes” for under $20 from the University Bookstore.   Please bring these notes with you to every class.   There are deliberate gaps in these notes, which will be filled in during the lectures.   There is no other recommended textbook.   However, you are encouraged to consult any textbook on advanced engineering mathematics that covers any part of the content of this course.

After each lecture is completed, the completed version of that part of the lecture notes will become available as a Word document, from the Notes section of the web site.
