Apply calculus to engineering tasks

This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to apply calculus, including differentiation and integration techniques, to engineering applications. Engineering applications requiring calculus techniques may include determining the point of maximum bending moment, slope and deflection for a beam, determining the depth of parabolic mirrors or determining moments of inertia of a range of engineering components and solving rectilinear motion problems

The unit applies to engineering or related activities and is suitable for people giving technical support to design, operations or maintenance activities and those pursuing technical qualifications and careers at paraprofessional or technician level.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
