COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

COURSE Mathematics 1Code: MATH 17688

Hours / wk: 3

Students cover fundamental concepts and operations of trigonometric functions of any angle, vectors, linear functions, graphing of functions, systems of linear equations, factoring and fractions, and quadratic equations which are necessary for a student in Engineering Sciences.

Graphing and solver software are used to aid students in their application of mathematical skills to solve word problems.

Page 10 of 17



COURSE Applied Mechanics 1 Code: ENGI 16764 Hours / wk: 4

This is a first course in applied mechanics, suitable for entrants to all branches of the technologist program. The course is designed to give the student a sound understanding of how forces act, and how they may be used in modern technology. It covers such concepts as components of a force; resultant of a number of forces; coplanar forces in equilibrium; inertia; friction; kinematics; Newton's Laws; energy, work and power; momentum. Applied Mechanics is composed of two principal areas - statics and dynamics: "statics" is the study of forces on and in structures, i.e., those in static or motionless equilibrium; whereas "dynamics" is concerned with dynamic equilibrium, or the forces acting on a moving body. Applied Mechanics, since it deals with the very basic concept of force, is the origin for all calculations in areas such as stress analysis, machine design, hydraulics and structural design.

COURSEConcepts and Mechanical Applications– CAD 1

Code: CADD 13865

Hours / wk: 3

This course is designed to give the student a detailed approach to computer drafting to produce 2-dimensional drawings by extensively using 2D modeling cad commands. Students learn how to explore the use of model space, viewing multiple drawings at the same time in order to combine different views of the same object and display them in a professional scaled format with boarder, dimensions, title block and text. Students develop the ability to work independently, manage files whilst utilizing both cad and industry standards.

COURSE Applied Electricity Code: ENGI 15592 Hours / wk: 3

This course is designed to provide a working knowledge of electricity for Mechanical Engineering Technologists. Emphasis will be placed on fundamentals with laboratories designed to develop wiring skills, knowledge of basic electrical safety, and an understanding of the nature of electricity. Complementary laboratory work will include the use of analog and digital meters, and dc power supplies. Initially, fundamental topics in basic electricity, magnetism, electrical measurement and dc electric circuits will be studied. Students will then investigate applications such as electrical energy conversion, digital/analog electronic instrumentation, classical circuit theorems to calculate currents and voltages in resistive networks, and power and efficiency in small systems. Basic inductive and capacitive components will be studied. Periodic waveforms and ac voltage, current, power, and ac transformers will be studied briefly.

COURSE Mechanical Drafting Fundamentals Code: ENGI 19723 Hours / wk: 3

Mechanical drafting is the language of engineering drawing, which is the graphic representation of physical objects and relationships. It introduces the basic tools and techniques required for mechanical drafting. Students will prepare technical drawings using a variety of drawing

Page 11 of 17



instruments. Mechanical drafting requires standards and conventions for layout, view projections, line thickness, text size, symbols, dimensioning, and notations to create drawings that are ideally interpreted in only one way.

COURSE Health, Work and Safety Code: HEAL 27485 Hours / wk: 3

This course will introduce students to the fundamental principles of health and safety in the work place. Various pieces of legislation governing the work place in Ontario will be reviewed including the Occupational Health and Safety Act; Workers Compensation Act; Employment Standards Act and WHMIS. Health hazards such as chemical, physical and biological and health concerns will be discussed. The physical environment and health will be explored by researching such topics as managing wastes, violence abuse, reducing pollution (noise, water and air) and soil. Wellness in the work place will be discussed through health promotion measures such as lifestyle, physical fitness and licit and illicit drugs. Discussions, presentations, group work and lectures will contribute to the understanding of the topics explored

COURSE Technology: Apocalypse or Eden Code: SCIE 16048 Hours / wk: 3

This course provides opportunities for students to evaluate the effects of technology and the use of technology in society, as well as on the individual through an analysis of competing visions of technology. Through interactive lectures, online exercises, classroom assignments, and online and classroom participation, the course will provide opportunities for written analysis of the work of Jacques Ellul, as well as to the history of humanism and modern institutions such as the corporation, science lab and political bureaucracy. Interdisciplinary concepts, such as technique, humanism, 'creative destruction', and Disnification, will provide the analytic basis of scholarly investigation in order to avoid the problem of personal speculation. Clear explanation of historical trends, from the Classical Age to the Modern Age, and from the Physical Economy to the Knowledge Economy, will put the concepts in context. The course will pose the question of whether the modern corporation is a technological oppressor or a humanist wealth provider, and whether individuals themselves are technicians or humanists

COURSE Engineering Materials and Testing Code: ENGI 10679 Hours / wk: 3

The materials used in modern civilization are very complex and of great variety. Their properties and possible uses are widely varied. These properties and uses, in many cases, depend to a great extent on the prior treatment given to the material and on the environment in which they are used. The technician and technologist need to have a good understanding of materials and how they respond to the environment in which they are used. He/she must realize that materials respond to definite laws of nature. More and more, the technician and technologist is required to make decisions on materials, many of them new and different from those used in the past. It is essential that he/she be able to evaluate these by analysis of data supplied by the suppliers.
