Relationship of the
course to Program Outcomes:
· This course is used to assess civil and environmental engineering program
outcomes number 1 (integral calculus).
· It is also used to apply concepts
learnt in program outcomes number 1 (differential calculus).
· This course
also addresses the Criterion a (Application of Mathematics and Science from
the a-k list of ABET)
