2. RATIONALE
The Introduction to Mathematics for Engineering course will allow students to master the precalculus knowledge necessary for the
study of differential and integral calculus and for the beginning of the study of physical phenomena, as a foundation for training in
science and engineering. .

3. SUMILLA
In the Introduction to Mathematics for Engineering course, five learning units are developed; In the first, the study of conics is carried
out, in the second and third unit, the concept of vector and its nomenclatures are developed to operate vector algebra in two and
three dimensions, in the fourth unit, matrices and determinants are studied and finally, in the fifth unit, the concept of function and its
rule of correspondence, domain and range are developed to be able to evaluate and operate the algebra of functions, which allows
us to understand the concept of limit and be able to determine the continuity of a function.

4. OVERALL LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT

At the end of the course, the student obtains numerical or analytical solutions to different problems based on the identification of the
variables present and the application of mathematical principles.

6. METHODOLOGY
This course will use an active and participatory methodology that promotes self-learning, student autonomy and collaborative work.
The presentation or visualization of objects in 2 or 3 dimensions will be optimized through the use of various resources.
On the educational platform (virtual learning space), the student will find the study materials organized by weeks; and you must
carry out a series of virtual activities (forums, evaluations, tasks) that will allow you to verify the learning of the topics.
The teacher will involve the students to actively participate, promoting; self-learning, autonomy and collaborative work during the
different moments of the class sessions, to achieve the consensual construction of knowledge. The methodological strategies used
are collaborative learning, teamwork, autonomous work, among others.

7. EVALUATION SYSTEM
The calculation of the final average will be done as follows:
(10%)PC1 + (10%)PC2 + (25%)EXPA + (15%)PC3 + (10%)PA + (30%)EXFI

Indications on Evaluation Formulas:

1. The minimum final passing grade is 12.
2. The grade obtained in the partial exam replaces one of the qualified practices prior to the partial exam, which has not been
taken or whose grade is lower than that of the partial exam. It is not necessary for the student to manage any procedure for
this replacement to be carried out.
3. The grade obtained in the final exam replaces one of the PCs after the midterm exam, which has not been taken or whose
grade is lower than that of the final exam. It is not necessary for the student to manage any procedure for this replacement to
be carried out.
 4. Students who do not take the final exam or the partial exam can take a single Delayed Exam, which, in turn, will replace the
corresponding PC grade, according to the previous indications. The student takes the lagging exam on the date scheduled by
the University, after submitting the application and paying the fees for the lagging exam provided in the current tariff schedule
and published on the Student Portal. The lagging exams are administered at the end of the school period and cover all the
topics covered in the subject.
5. Class participation (PA) is the average of the activities carried out in the integrative sessions.
