WTTP 1721 - Applied Math and Science

Delivery Online, self-paced

Course Description

This course covers the essential elements of mathematics and science to enable students to be successful in the program. In mathematics, the concepts of fractions, ratios and proportion, scientific notation, percent, algebra, calculation of areas and volumes, graphs and the conversion of units are covered. The science component of the course is divided into two areas: hydraulics and chemistry. In hydraulics, the concepts of pressure, hydraulic grade lines, calculation of head loss, pumping and flow rate problems are discussed in details. In chemistry, the structure of matter, the balancing of chemical equations and the calculation of dosage are studied.
