Course Description:
This course introduces first year engineering students to the theory of ordinary differential equations and their
applications to mathematical models. The main topics include: Basics of general theory of differential equations;
special types of first order equations (separable, linear, exact, homogeneous, Bernoulli); linear equations of higher
order (homogeneous and non-homogeneous); Cauchy-Euler equations; non-linear equations of second order; systems
of linear differential equations; linear and non-linear mathematical models of first and second order.

Lectures: three hours per week. Tutorial: two hours per week. NOTE: Students who have received credit for EMAT
212 and 232 may not take this course for credit. (Prerequisite: MATH 204 (cégep Mathematics 105) previously or
concurrently; MATH 205 (cégep Mathematics 203)).

Textbook: Advanced Engineering Mathematics, by Dennis G. Zill, 6th or 7th ed. Jones and Bartlett.

Grading Scheme:
Midterm exam 20%, (during a tutorial period, 90 minutes)
Assignments (WeBWorK) 10%
Quizzes (4) 10% (2.5% each, during lectures/tutorials, 20 min each quiz)
Final exam 60% (3 hours)
Team projects (2) 5% (2.5% each, teams of 2 students, problems solving during tutorials)

WeBWorK: Every student will be given access to an online system called WeBWorK. Students are expected to submit
assignments online using WeBWorK. Late assignments will not be accepted. Assignments contribute 10% to the final
grade. Working regularly on the assignments is essential for success in this course. Students are also strongly
encouraged to do as many problems as their time permits from the chapters of the textbooks listed below in this outline.

The grading scheme shown above includes 5% bonus.

ENGR 213 – section TBD Fall 2021

STUDENTS MUST PASS THE FINAL EXAM (i.e. 50% or better) TO PASS THE COURSE

If a student misses the mid-term test for any reason, including illness, then the final examination will count for 80% of
the final grade. Since there is a 5% team projects bonus allocation, there will be no replacements of quizzes for any
reason, including illness. Students are responsible for finding out the date of the final exam. The Examination Office
posts the time and place of the final exam once the schedule becomes available. Any conflicts or problems with the
scheduling of the final exam must be reported directly to the Examination Office. Students are expected to be available
until the end of the final examination period. Conflicts due to travel plans will not be accommodated.

PLEASE NOTE: Electronic communication devices of any type are not allowed in examination rooms. Only
“Faculty Approved Calculators" will be allowed in examination rooms [SHARP EL-531 or CASIO FX-300MS]

Students are also responsible for any applicable topics covered in assignments that have not be
presented in either the regular lectures or during tutorials.

In the event of extraordinary circumstances beyond the University's control, the content and/or
evaluation scheme in this course is subject to change.

GRADUATE ATTRIBUTES
ENGR213 emphasizes and develops a subset of the graduate attributes and indicators as required by the
CEAB (Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board):
ATTRIBUTE INDICATOR LEVEL OF
KNOWLEDGE
A knowledge base for engineering Knowledge-base for specific INTRODUCTORY
Demonstrated competence in university- engineering field
level mathematics, natural sciences,
engineering fundamentals, and
specialized engineering knowledge
appropriate to the program.
Problem analysis Problem identification and INTRODUCTORY
An ability to use appropriate knowledge formulation
and skills to identify, formulate, analyze, Modelling INTRODUCTORY
and solve complex engineering problems
in order to reach substantiated Problem solving INTERMEDIATE
conclusions.

Individual and team work Cooperation and work ethics INTRODUCTORY


An ability to work effectively as a
member and leader in teams, preferably
in a multi-disciplinary setting.

COURSE LEARNING Outcomes (CLOs)


Upon successful completion of ENGR213, the students will be able to:
- Solve differential equations that will be essential knowledge to many engineering core courses.
- Model from prior knowledge in physics using differential equations. Use various solution methods to
extract all the pertinent information vis-à-vis the physics and practicality of the problem. This
component is examined trough an applied problem in the final exam.
- Learn how to work within a team. This is done through one or two Team Projects.
- Acquire new knowledge by self-study. This is accomplished by making students responsible for certain
material on assignments and exams, without being lectured on that specific material.

ADDENDUM - IMPORTANT COURSE RULES:


1. In the event of extraordinary circumstances and pursuant to the Academic Regulations, the University may
modify the delivery, content, structure, forum, location and/or evaluation scheme. In the event of such
extraordinary circumstances, students will be informed of the changes.
2. Content belonging to instructors shared in online/in-person courses, including, but not limited to, online lectures,
course notes, and video recordings of classes remain the intellectual property of the faculty member. It may not
be distributed, published or broadcast, in whole or in part, without the express permission of the faculty
member. Students are also forbidden to use their own means of recording any elements of an online/in-person
class or lecture without express permission of the instructor. Any unauthorized sharing of course content may
constitute a breach of the Academic Code of Conduct and/or the Code of Rights and Responsibilities. As
specified in the Policy on Intellectual Property, the University does not claim any ownership of or interest in any
student IP. All university members retain copyright over their work.
3. Plagiarism:
The most common offense under the Academic Code of Conduct is plagiarism, which the Code defines as “the
presentation of the work of another person as one’s own or without proper acknowledgement.”
This includes material copied word for word from books, journals, Internet sites, professor’s course notes, etc. It
refers to material that is paraphrased but closely resembles the original source. It also includes for example the
work of a fellow student, an answer on a quiz, data for a lab report, a paper or assignment completed by another
student. It might be a paper purchased from any source. Plagiarism does not refer to words alone –it can refer to
copying images, graphs, tables and ideas. “Presentation” is not limited to written work. It includes oral
presentations, computer assignments and artistic works. Finally, if you translate the work of another person into
any other language and do not cite the source, this is also plagiarism.
In Simple Words:
Do not copy, paraphrase or translate anything from anywhere without saying where you obtained it.

4. Virtual Environment Ethics, when applicable:
It is expected that all participants to virtual, remotely delivered lectures and tutorials abide by the same civil
behavior as they are required to do during in-person classes. Unethical behavior or harassment of any kind are
not tolerated and will be dealt with in accordance to the Academic Code of Conduct and/or the Code of Rights
and Responsibilities.

5. Examinations:
This course will be taught, and all assessments will be in-person. Any subsequent changes will be announced in
advanced according to the University regulations.

Please note the following with respect to online exams, when applicable:
• That the exam will take place during the exam period at the designated date and time set by the professor
(midterm) or the Exams office (final). All exam times will be set to Eastern Standard/Daylight Time.
• That you are very strongly recommended to enter the virtual test site found at the COLE website and become
familiar with the software that will be used for your exam before starting the exam.
• That you will need a quiet place within which to take the exam. Earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones that are
not connected to a device may also be used to allow you to focus for the duration of the exam.

Students who require additional accommodations for their exams due to a documented disability should contact the
Access Centre for Students with Disabilities as soon as possible (acsdinfo@concordia.ca).

If you face issues during the exam, you should inform your professor of those issues immediately. Please note that
there are in-exam supports you should spend time getting to know. Visit the COLE website for more information.
