    1. Apply vector methods to problems in two- and three-dimensional spaces.
    2. Apply trigonometric functions; differentiate and integrate trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic and rational functions, and extend the results to engineering applications.
    3. Sketch and graph functions, with emphasis on trigonometric functions.
    4. Express curves describing movement in parametric form.
    5. Investigate motion using appropriate computer software.

Study load

0.125 EFTSL
This is in the range of 10 to 12 hours of study each week.

Equivalent full time study load (EFTSL) is one way to calculate your study load. One (1.0) EFTSL is equivalent to a full-time study load for one year.
