COURSE CODE : MATH 24
TITLE : NUMERICAL SOLUTION TO CE PROBLEMS
TARGET POPULATION : THIRD YEAR STUDENTS
INSTRUCTOR : ENGR. ROLLY S. MAGLUYAN
NUMBER OF UNITS : 3 Units (2 Units Lecture & 1 Unit Laboratory)

Overview:
The course provides background on numerical analysis needed to solve civil engineering problems numerically
when their analytical solution is either not available or difficult to obtain. MATLAB programming environment or its
equivalent will be introduced and used in the course.
Objectives:
After completing the course, the student must be able to:
1. Identify appropriate numerical/mathematical tool or concepts suitable for the solution of the CE
problem;
2. Analyze the CE problem to translate it to a numerical solution;
3. Use a computer software developing a solution to the problem
4. Solve civil engineering problems numerically when their analytical solution is either not available or
difficult to obtain.
Instruction to the Learner
This module consists of chapters in sequence in relation to each other. Do not skip each lesson so you will be
guided in every step of your learning process. As you start opening your module, please take time to read the
principle of each topic carefully and analyze each situations accordingly. If you encounter problems regarding on
how you solve it or analyze it, please go back to its basic principle. You will find it easy to solve when you go back
to basic always. This module will be given once in a week, and you have to return back the next week along with
your outputs such as plates, documents or activities as what this subject requires you.

Course Requirements
Class Standing Requirements (problem solving exercises, seatworks, assignments and oral presentations, group
participation and evaluation) – Problem solving exercises are scheduled. Seatworks are unannounced and are
usually given at the start or near the end of the lecture period. Problem set assignments (plates) are to be solved
through individual or team effort to maximize peer tutoring and cooperative learning. Outputs are to be collected at
the beginning of the next class session. Students will be required to do oral presentation of assignment solutions or
any special topics. Individual contribution to group work will be rated by the instructor and the co-group members.

Grade Requirement – Students must obtain a minimum final grade of 60% or 3.0 equivalent to pass the subject.

Grading System for all COE Subjects

Lecture and Laboratory Subjects

LECTURE LABORATORY

TERM GRADE=20%P+20%S+20%Q+40%E

TERM GRADE=Preliminary, Midterm, Or Final Term Grade

P = Plates
S = Seatwork
Q = Quiz
E = Examination

PRELIM GRADE (PG) = 100%(PRELIM GRADE)

MIDTERM GRADE (MG) = 30%(PRELIM GRADE) + 70%(MIDTERM

GRADE)

FINAL TERM GRADE (FG) = 100%(FINAL TERM GRADE)

FINAL GRADE = 15%PG + 35%MG + 50%FG

Class Policies
Attendance:
Attendance sheet will be passed around and the student is responsible to sign to prove his presence for
that session (whenever possible). This is to monitor whether absences incurred by the student is still within the
allowed number of absences for a course stipulated in the Student Handbook. The only valid excuse for missing
exam are illness requiring medical care or a personal/family emergency of a serious nature. For such, valid
medical certificate and parent’s/guardian’s letter will be required and subject to verification.
Cooperative Learning:
The goal is to have everyone learn more than they would have working alone. Nevertheless, individual work
provides the foundation for productive and synergistic group work. Teams will be formed, with three, four or as
many students per team as per the instructor dicession. These will be used in two ways. First, in-class
discussion and reporting on assignments will be by group (whenever possible). Second, problem set
assignments will be group activities but the submission of assignment outputs will be done individually.
Presentation of output will be done on a rotation basis. All students will evaluate themselves and their fellow
group members with respect to contributions to group function at least twice during the semester. This
evaluation will contribute to the class standing portion of the course grade.

Academic Honesty Policy:

It is a part of your education to learn responsibility and self-discipline, particularly with regards to academic
honesty. The most important issue of academic honesty is cheating. Cheating is defined to include an attempt
to defraud, deceive, or mislead the instructor in arriving at an honest grade assessment. Plagiarism is a form of
cheating that involves presenting as one’s own work the ideas or work of another.
All portions of any test, project, or final exam submitted by you for a grade must be your own work, unless
you are instructed to work collaboratively. Specific requirements will be described for collaborative projects, but
all work presented must be the work of members of that group. Research materials used must be properly cited.
Cheating in a major course examination by a student will entail a failing mark of 5.0 for the given course.
Cheating, dishonesty or plagiarism in papers and other works will entail zero (0) score for the said requirement.

GETTING STARTED:
Seek Him first the GOD Almighty before reading this module because learning Numerical Analysis is not an
easy task but by putting GOD first is the only key to success. Be patient, persevere, ask questions, discuss ideas
and work with classmates, and seek help when you need it, right away. The rewards of learning this subject will be
very satisfying, both intellectually and professionally.
But, due to the health crisis, you need to double your effort in learning this subject since, this is more often a self-

taught or self-directed learning and will no longer have a face-to-face discussion. Research as much as you can,
and do not hesitate to consult to your instructor in any means of communication if any problems encountered in this
course. Good luck and God Bless Future Engineers!
We wish to know how interested you are of becoming a profound and well-taught CIVIL ENGINEER in the
future. Complete the statements stated below as honestly as you can. All answer is accepted.
