Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to apply differential equations in an engineering or related application and includes first and second order differential equations (DEs). It includes 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 for those pursuing technologist careers and qualifications.Individuals completing this work either already have or are developing skills and experience in mathematics covering calculus and differentials.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 DEs
  • 1.1 Identify and define a problem requiring application of DEs
  • 1.2 Determine data currently available for analysis
  • 1.3 Identify ways of obtaining other required data
  • 1.4 Determine information required from outcome
2. Prepare to solve problem by DEs
  • 2.1 Determine appropriate DE to be applied
  • 2.2 Identify and gain access to appropriate computational devices
  • 2.3 Collect required input data
  • 2.4 Analyse collected data for suitability and completeness
  • 2.5 Take appropriate action to address any deficiencies found
3. Solve problem using DEs
  • 3.1 Apply appropriate technique to collected data
  • 3.2 Check answer to ensure it is within the expected rational results
  • 3.3 Interpret answer to determine information required by problem definition and translate the result of the statistical analysis into a form which is useable by relevant stakeholders
4. Communicate outcomes
  • 4.1 Communicate outcome to relevant stakeholders by appropriate means
  • 4.2 Explain outcome to stakeholders, as appropriate
  • 4.3 Confirm that the result of the analysis assists in the resolution of the problem
