Introduction

The course unit is intended to impact upgrading study in concepts and techniques in Mathematics to school leavers with mean Grade of C and below at KCSE, with a minimum Grade D+ in the subject.

This course unit will enable the trainee to pursue and adjust comfortably for the Engineering Diploma courses at KCCT, examinable by KNEC. The unit will also provide a firm base for further training in post-diploma courses. An evaluation TEST follows at the end of each course unit.

General Objective

At the end of the unit, the trainee should be able to:-

• Identify, manipulate and apply relevant mathematical techniques to Engineering problems at hand.
• Independently research, compile and use the mathematical material for future applications and advancement.

Programme Emphasis

• Measurements.
• Force, weight and friction.
• Parallelogram and Triangle of force.
• Turning forces.
• Newton's Laws of Motion.
