Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to apply numerical methods in an engineering or related application and includes numerical solutions, solutions to different equation types, and covers both the application of theory in simple calculations either manually or through the use of relevant software packages for more complex situations.It is suitable for paraprofessionals and technologists required to solve advanced mathematical problems in an engineering or related field, or those pursuing technologist careers and qualifications and for articulation of qualifications into degree programs.Individuals completing this work either already have or are developing skills and experience in mathematics covering polynomials and differential equations.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify a need for the application of numerical methods
