Please note in the unlikely event that student enrollment does not reach expected levels it may not be possible to run one or more of these courses. Course Descriptions Introduction to Chemistry This course addresses topics including atomic structure and properties; stoichiometry; chemical bonding; reactions in aqueous solutions; enthalpy; thermodynamics and reactions with gases. Introduction to Computer Science The course will introduce engineering students to computational thinking and modelling using Python programming language and Raspberry Pi 3B+ (single-board computers). Microeconomics This course involves the study of economics at the micro level to understand how and why individuals, companies, industries and countries behave/operate the way they do, and how that affects the market system. The material will help develop the ability to think analytically and objectively, as well as to be able to understand and evaluate the accuracy of the economic analysis presented by politicians and media sources every day. Introduction to Engineering The course offers an introduction to careers in engineering and computer science, and computer skill development. Students will learn skills and tools that are needed both in the academy and industry. It emphasizes teamwork skills by applying them to several design projects. Students will become familiar with engineering design and communication tools using platforms including MATLAB, Word and Excel, as well as software for website production. Calculus This course is intended for students from a wide range of academic backgrounds (majors in mathematics, physics, chemistry, economics etc.). Students will attain proficiency in solving routine problems, while problem solving skills will be sharpened by the assignment of more challenging exercises. Introduction to Statistics This course will cover the basics of statistics, probability, and their applications in Business and Economics. The main topics to be covered include descriptive statistics for univariate and bivariate data, probability and random variables, binomial and normal distributions, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing, correlation, and regression. The goal is to develop an appropriate level of statistical literacy and competency. To apply please send your CV and cover letter to: mminea@harlaxton.ac.uk
