Exam Questions in Engineering Mathematics

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding engineering exam questions online, specifically for engineering mathematics. Participants share their experiences and the topics covered in their courses, focusing on the content relevant to electrical engineering (EE) programs.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks resources for engineering exam questions from various universities.
  • Another participant suggests looking for questions based on topics taught in Engineering Mathematics and offers to share the topics covered in their EE course.
  • A request is made for clarification on the specific topics included in the EE curriculum.
  • A participant outlines the topics studied in their EE course, including integration and differentiation, series (Maclaurin's, Taylor's, LaHopital's rule, and binomial), complex numbers, matrix algebra, Boolean algebra, and differential equations in the first year.
  • In the second year, the topics include Laplace transforms, partial differentiation, multiple integrals, Fourier series, convolution, and correlation.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants appear to agree on the relevance of specific mathematical topics to engineering studies, but there is no consensus on the availability of exam questions or resources.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of specific resources mentioned for finding exam questions and the potential variability in curriculum across different universities.

Does anyone know where I can find engineering exam questions on the web. I am trying to do a survey of various questions from different universities.
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
Just look for questions on topics that are taught in Engineering Maths. I study EE at university, so if you like I could tell you the topics we cover.
 
Would like to know which topics you cover in the EE course.
 
Ok. A level maths (or similar) is needed to study EE (in most places in england). If you type 'OCR past papers' into google, there should be some past maths papers you can look at there.

In the first year the A level syllabus was recapped. We then went on to look at:

Intergration and differentiation in more detail

Series - Maclaurin's, Taylor's, LaHopital's rule and binomial

Complex Numbers - Argand Diagrams, Polar Cordinates, exponential form etc

Matrix Algebra - Determinants, Transpose, Gauss Elemination, Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors etc

Boolen Algebra

First and second order differential equations


In the second year we have studied:

Laplace Transforms (using a table of transforms and rules, not having to intergrate much)

Partial Differentiation, multiple integrals

Fourier Series + convolution and correlation
