Predicting Performance of first year engineering students and the importance of assessment tools therein.This research paper by LEE, HARRISON, PELL and ROBINSON presents statistical regression models which aim to predict overall first year mechanical engineering students' performance. Data was collected on overall first year mark against 14 variables. The regression models produced showed the positive effect of almost one grade boundary of students visiting the mathematics learning support centre.
The paper is published in Engineering Education Vol.3 Issue 1.

Process Systems Engineering - A Course in Computing and Numerical Methods for Second Year Chemical EngineersWe describe a course aimed at providing chemical engineering students with an understanding of the fundamental classes of equations which occur in chemical engineering, the mathematical basis of their numerical solution methods and the basic methods of implementing these in a high level computing language. The course thus integrates elements of both conceptual and practical mathematics and computing.

Properties of straight line segmentsIn this unit we use a system of co-ordinates to find various properties
of the straight line between two points. We find the distance between the two
points and the mid-point of the line joining the two points.

Provision of maths support for student in higher education institutionsNilsson, Galina and Luchinskaya, D. (2012) Provision of maths support for student in higher education institutions, The 40th Annual Congress of the Nordic Educational Research Association: March 8-10, 2012, Copenhagen, http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hv:diva-4859
This study analyses the efficiency of maths support provision in two universities: Leeds Metropolitan University, UK and Högskolan Väst, Sweden. This is an on-going collaboration between two universities and in this paper we present the results of this study focussing on the academic staff prospective, using questionnaires, observations and interviews with tutors.

Pythagoras' theoremThis leaflet reminds students of Pythagoras' theorem and gives some simple examples. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 4.5)
Pythagoras' theoremPythagoras theorem - the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides - is well known. In this tutorial we revise the theorem and use it to solve problems in right-angled triangles. A less familiar form of the theorem is also considered. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)
