Science and Engineering - Pre-university Calculus, Physics and Chemistry edX - online learning platform

Overview

This Science and Engineering - Pre-university Calculus, Physics and Chemistry programme is a Professional Certificate.

Key Facts

Calculus, physics and chemistry are the foundation of many important science and engineering disciplines. Understanding their basics is fundamental for advanced studies. This series of three MOOCs will give you the chance to review the fundamentals of these subjects.

This Science and Engineering - Pre-university Calculus, Physics and Chemistry Certificate in collaboration with Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) - DelftX will cover topics that are a prerequisite for many engineering programs but will also show you how these topics are applied in the various follow-up studies. In addition, the courses will also introduce the different ways in which calculus, physics and chemistry are approached at university level to ensure an easy entry to a new degree program. We aim to teach the skills, but also to show you how mathematics, physics and chemistry will be used in the context of different engineering and science disciplines.

Job Outlook

• Prospective engineering students who want to refresh their math, physics and chemistry knowledge before starting university.
• High school students who would like an additional challenge in math, physics and chemistry not offered by their school.
• Engineering students already enrolled in university who realize that they have a knowledge gap in these areas.
• Other learners who are interested in university level math, physics and chemistry.

What you will learn

• Obtain a basic understanding of elementary math, physics and chemistry topics.
• Apply this knowledge in various engineering contexts.
• Be introduced to the academic approach to calculus, physics and chemistry.
