All Combined Courses and Classes

OBJECTIVE: This course's primary objective is to give you a concrete idea of numerical methods and how they relate to engineering and scientific problem-solving.

OUTCOME: At the end of the course, it is expected that students will understand the concept behind numerical methods and be able to apply them in finding solutions to problems relating to engineering and science. In particular, the students will become proficient in the following:

• Understanding the theoretical and practical aspects of the use of numerical methods;
• Implementing numerical methods for a variety of multidisciplinary applications;
• Establishing the limitations, advantages, and disadvantages of numerical methods.

PREREQUISITES: It is assumed that the student has some background in Algebra, Calculus and Computing.

GRADING CRITERIA AND EVALUATION PROCEDURES: The grade for the course will be based on class attendance, group homework, quizzes/ class test and a final end-of-term exam.

• Attendance: All students should make it a point to attend classes. Random attendance will be taken to constitute 10% of the grade.
• Group Homework: Two homework assignments worth 10% of the final grade. Homework will be assigned on regular basis and will be due exactly one week (before 5:00 pm) from the day the assignment is issued to students
• Group Presentation: A group presentation worth 5% of the final grade will be conducted where necessary. Students will be assigned to a group with a task to research and present their findings in class to members.
• Quizzes/ Class Test: Two quizzes worth 15% of the grade will be given during class. The quiz or test date will be announced one week in advance.
• Final End-Of-Term Exams: Final exam is worth 60% of the final grade.

Introduction & Aims
This course explores the basic concepts and processes of management. Students will examine the
fundamental roles and processes of planning, organising, leading and controlling that comprise the
manager’s role. It focuses on the entire organisation from both short- and long- term perspective for
strategic vision, setting objectives, crafting a strategy, and implementing it. It also covers areas such
as leadership, decision making, and motivation among others.
Learning Outcomes
This course ensures that the student understand how;
a) Managers manage business in the dynamic global environment
b) Organisations develop and maintain competitive advantage
c) Business decisions are made using tools and techniques to remain competitive
d) Managers use problem-solving strategies and critical thinking skills in real lifesituations
