TO: Timothy Weber FROM: B. Hellinga, Associate Dean, Graduate Studies

Faculty of Engineering RE: Engineering Faculty Council Agenda DATE: September 8, 2016 (this supersedes any previously submitted memos)

Please place the following motions forward for approval at the next meeting of EFC. Motions 1 and 2 were approved at the May 11, 2016 meeting of EGSC.

1. The Collaborative Graduate Nanotechnology Program requests approval for the addition of the following courses to the program’s list of Nanotechnology Electives. As per the Collaborative Graduate Nanotechnology Program’s guidelines, all of the following courses have been approved for addition to the Nanotechnology Electives list by all seven member departments of the program: Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Astronomy, Chemical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, and Systems Design Engineering.

NANO has requested approval for changes to the NANO core course list from the following departments:

• Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) • Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering (MME) • Chemical Engineering (CHE) • Chemistry (CHEM – Faculty of Science)

EGSO note: The same motion for approval has been submitted to the Faculty of Science and once approved in both Faculty Councils it will be sent to SGRC for review and approval.

2. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering would like to request the removal of all requisites for ECE 632: Photovoltaic Energy Conversion. The requisites to be removed include instructor consent for enrolment in the course and the two prerequisite courses of ECE 209 and 231. These changes were approved at a regular meeting of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department on Thursday, April 21, 2016.

The following motion was approved by EGSC through an electronic vote ending on June 24, 2016.

3. The Department of Chemical Engineering (CHE) is presenting a motion for approval of a course change for CHE 614 so it is no longer ‘held with’ CHE 514. Rationale for Proposed Change: The Department believes that Che 614 is a course different from Che 514 and the sentences in the current Che 614 calendar description regarding ‘held with Che 514’ should be removed.

The following motion was approved by EGSC through an electronic vote ending on September 7, 2016.

4. The Department of Biology has requested to suspend its participation in the Nanotechnology

program. Rationale for Proposed Change: Biology does not have the faculty or interest from students to support their involvement in the program. Please note: Because Engineering and Science both have departments which participate in the Nanotechnology collaborative program this change requires approval from both Science and Engineering Faculty Councils. This was approved at Science Faculty Council on May 30, 2016 and was sent to SGRC by Science in June.

ME 760 – Special Topics in Fluid Mechanics: Microfluidics

A Microfluidic lab-on-a-chip device must be able to perform various microfluidic functions, including

pumping, flow switching, dispensing and mixing samples and reagents, and separating molecules and

cells. However, because of the scale of the microchannels, interfacial electrokinetic phenomena

dominate the transport processes in the microchannels and make the microfluidic processes very

different from the macroscopic transport processes. Understanding of the complicated electrokinetic

microfluidic phenomena and processes is necessary for systematic design and precise operation control

of the lab-on-a-chip devices. This course will introduce electrokinetics, teach how to model and

understand several key microfluidic phenomena and processes including electro-viscous effects in the

pressure-driven flows, electroosmotic flow, electrokinetic motion of particles in microchannels,

dielectrophoresis and induced charge electrokinetic transport phenomena.

ME 780 – Topics in Mechatronics: Micro and Nanoscale Sensing

Micro and nanoscale sensing is a multidisciplinary course that brings together knowledge and skills from

various disciplines and show how they can be applied to micro and nano-based sensing problems. The

course is divided into two modules and it is designed for students with different backgrounds such that

only a basic understanding of university level math, chemistry and physics will be required. Assignment

run concurrently with case studies discussed in class. Along the way, students will develop skills in

locating suitable information from libraries and electronic archives and creation of analytical device

models. The microscale module provides students with the necessary tools for the design and analysis of

Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) sensors. This part of the course presents an introduction of a

sufficient selection of technologies used in MEMS such that the fabrication and operation of many

different types of sensors will be understandable. Basic principles and sensing parameters of different

technologies are presented in detail with particular emphasis in microbeam-based sensors for

biosensing applications and capacitive sensors for inertial and pressure measurements. Examples and

assignments are drawn from real-word sensing applications with particular sets of specifications (e.g.

sensitivity, frequency response and linearity). The nanoscale module provides a good understanding of

the concepts of nanosensors. After a brief introduction to the concepts of nanofabrication, principles of

various types of bio/chemical sensors are discussed. The design of classical and complex nanosensors for

biosensing applications is presented. Biomolecules, analyte density, diffusion distances, geometry of

nano-biosensing and the effects of the shape of the nanosensor surface are discussed. Potentiometric

bio/chemical nanosensors are studied in detail and case studies are used to promote further

understanding and provide practical experience in solving nanoscale sensing problems.

the Collaborative Nanotechnology Graduate Program list of Nanotechnology Electives The Collaborative Nanotechnology Graduate Program has 7 departments as members: Biology, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, Physics and Astronomy, and Systems Design Engineering. The department of Chemical Engineering would like to request approval from all other 6 departments (Biology, Chemistry, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, Physics and Astronomy, and Systems Design Engineering) to include 4 graduate courses in the list graduate courses know as Nanotechnology Electives (document available at https://uwaterloo.ca/institute-nanotechnology/sites/ca.institute-nanotechnology/files/uploads/files/NANOTechnicalElectives.pdf)

The 4 graduate courses to be included are:

• Chemical Engineering core grad courses Transport Phenomena (CHE 610) • Applied Engineering Mathematics (CHE620) • Statistics in Engineering (CHE 622) • Chemical Reactor Analysis (CHE 630)

These graduate courses are regularly offered by the department of Chemical Engineering every year. The department of Chemical Engineering is requesting that each department member of the Nanotechnology Graduate Program approve a motion to include these 4 graduate courses in the list of Nanotechnology Electives. This motion was approved by the department of Chemical Engineering on Feb 9 2015. Motion: Add graduate courses Transport Phenomena (CHE 610), Applied Engineering Mathematics (CHE620), Statistics in Engineering (CHE 622) and Chemical Reactor Analysis (CHE 630) to the list of Nanotechnology Electives for the Collaborative Nanotechnology Program. Rationale: Other Chemical Engineering core grad courses - Principles of Polymer Science (CHE 640), Principles of Biochemical Engineering (CHE 660) and Interfacial Phenomena (CHE 612) - are already part of the list of Nanotechnology Technical Electives. The omission of Transport Phenomena (CHE 610), Applied Engineering Mathematics (CHE620), Statistics in Engineering (CHE 622) and Chemical Reactor Analysis (CHE 630) from the current list of Nanotechnology Technical Electives limits the ability of graduate students enrolled in the Collaborative Nanotechnology Program to engage in mathematical/statistical modeling and analysis of nanoscale systems and processes involving reaction and transport. The amendment to the list of Nanotechnology Technical Electives proposed with this motion will make available to students in the Collaborative Nanotechnology Program four courses offered at least once a year, thereby enhancing course selection and facilitating the satisfaction of degree requirements.

Rationale for request: The department approved a change to the description of Che 514 in the April 2015

departmental meeting. The Department believes that Che 614 is a course different from Che 514 and the

sentences in the current Che 614 calendar description regarding 'held with Che 514' should be removed.

Antirequisite: Che 514 should also be removed.

Prepar\/: :::Tu-0y C JC)<R_o A) Date: 25-May-16

MOTION: Removal of the following text from the CHE614 calendar description:

Held with Che 514. Additional course material and/or requirements beyond Che 514 requirements.

Antirequisite: CHE 514

Rationale:

Currently we have Che 614 on our graduate calendar as a 'held with' course, listed as follows:

CHE 614 Capillary and Transport Phenomena In Porous

Media (0.50) LEC Course ID: 010402

This course covers fundamental and advanced topics on 1) capillary phenomena in

porous media, 2) characterization of pore structure and fluid flow in porous media

(single phase and multiphase flow in porous media), 3) percolation theory

concepts and application to modelling capillary and transport phenomena in

porous media, 4) hydrodynamic dispersion, oil spill migration in porous media and

remediation techniques. Held with CH E 514. Additional course material and/or

requirements beyond CH E 514 requirements.

Antirequlslte: CHE 514.

Che 514 had a new calendar description approved in the last dept. meeting.

GRC discussed their options and would like to propose the following:

Take our existing calendar description and remove the last sentence above and the Antirequisite. This

option was agreed to by GRC, and we would like to send out an electronic vote to have the calendar

changed to reflect this.
