FACULTY CALENDAR SUBMISSION SUMMARY

FACULTY OF ENGINEERING

A) NEW COURSES ENGINEERING

The changes were made to address on‐going issues with the mechanics streams (i.e. student performance and instructor concerns over outcomes/student preparedness), the old APSC courses have been removed and the content of these courses has been restructured into PHYS1081 + ENGG1082/CE1023 (+ME2003 for mech. eng). These changes better align students between high school physics and important pre‐requisite mechanics material taught in first year Engineering. The CE1023 course provides special depth and important perspective to engineering statics for students pursuing civil or geological engineering, whereas the ENGG1082 course provides engineering perspective on static and dynamic elements as required by other disciplines. ME2003, to be offered in Term#3 (Fall ‘11), will provide depth and breadth of dynamics for mechanical engineering students; it will be the third course in the mechanics stream of the ME curriculum.

GEOLOGICAL ENGINEERING Under PROGRAM, added/changed explanatory comments as follows: (i) Added a comment about some courses being offered in alternate years. (ii) Changed

“The Geological Engineering BScE degree program entails a total of 189 ‐ 190 credit hours (depending on the option), 15 to 16 of which are taken in the form of three field camps that are held in the spring or late summer outside the normal teaching terms. The program is intended for completion within 9 terms.”

to “The Geological Engineering BScE degree program entails 169 credit hours in classes plus an additional 14 credit hours taken in the form of three field camps that are held in the spring or late summer outside the normal teaching terms. The program is intended for completion within 8 ‐ 9 terms.” Explanation: Required credit hours have been reduced by 7 mainly as a consequence of the dropping of Geol 2142 (Chemistry and Physics of Minerals, 5 ch) from the list of required courses. Two additional ch were removed because CE 1023 (4 ch) is replacing APSC 1023 (5 ch) and because GEOL 3703 field school is changing from 7 to 6 ch. The removal of GEOL 2142 is motivated by the desire to streamline the GE program, making it easier to complete in 4 years. The content in GEOL 2142 considered most important for GE students will be moved to their remaining introductory mineralogy and petrology courses Geol 2131 and Geol 3131.

Under course listings, …: (i) Deleted GEOL 2142 as it will no longer be required in the GE Program (see note above) (ii) Replaced APSC 1013 (no longer offered) with its faculty‐wide replacement PHYS 1081. (iii) Replaced APSC 1023 (no longer offered) with its replacement (for Civil and GE) CE 1023. (iv) Updated GEOL course titles to reflect changes being made this year. (v) Clarified wording regarding technical electives available under each of the three program options. (vi) Deleted GEOL 4472 Economic Geology II from the list of required courses in the Mineral Resources option. It is

being replaced by GE 5753 Engineering Hydrogeology in order to bring more ‘qualified engineering design content’ (as defined by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board) into that option. GE 5753 now becomes part of the GE Program core as it was already a required course in the other two options.

(vii) Increased required technical electives in the Mineral Resources option from 3 ch to 6 ch to make up for credit hour reductions associated with replacing

(viii) Elaborated on requirements regarding requirements for Complementary Studies electives. GEOMATICS ENGINEERING Faculty

Deleted Alexander, Anton, Bedard, Mayer Under list of Core Courses, replace APSC 1013, 1023 by PHYS 1081, ENGG 1082. This results in a reduction of Core Course credit hours by 2 ch; however, the Geomatics Engineering regulations stipulate only the total program minimum of 160 ch. So, no other change is necessary in the calendar entry. No change to the Bachelor of Geomatics curriculum.

D) CHANGES TO REGULATIONS AND PROGRAMMES...continued SOFTWARE ENGINEERING Core Changed APSC 1013 Mechanics I to PHYS 1081 Foundations of Physics for Engineers Changed INFO 2103 Data and Information Management to INFO 1103 Data and Information Management Note 3 changed APSC1023 for ENGG1082 Electives Basic Science Electives Changed “APSC 1023 replaces CS 1003 and the remaining 2ch in Basic Science” to “ENGG 1082 replaces CS 1003 and the remaining 2ch in Basic Science”. Technical Electives Added SWE 4913 Independent Project Complimentary Studies Electives Changed:

1. To ensure that the spirit of CSEs is achieved, one must take at least one three credit hour course in one of the following disciplines: Anthropology, Classics, literature, History, Philosophy, Political Science and Sociology.

To: 1. Three credit hours must be a humanities and social sciences course addressing the impact of technology on

society. A list of appropriate courses is available from the BScSwE program coordinator. Biomedical Engineering Option in Software Engineering Changed “APSC 1023 replaces CS 1003 and the remaining 2ch in Basic Science.” to “ENGG 1082 replaces CS 1003 and the remaining 2ch in Basic Science”. Changed Students are also required to complete their SWE 4040 course project in the area of biomedical engineering, subject to the approval of the Biomedical Engineering Option Coordinator. To Students are also required to complete a design project, an independent project, or a course project in the area of biomedical engineering subject to the approval of the Biomedical Engineering Option Coordinator. Compulsory Option Courses Changed APSC 1023 Mechanics II to ENGG 1082 – Mechanics for Engineers DIPLOMA IN TECHNOLOGY, MANAGEMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP Electives

Addition of two new Special Topics elective courses, TME 3386 and TME 3396.
