APSC 120 - Introduction to Engineering

1.00 credits

(1,0,0)

30 wks

This course uses guest speakers, video-taped material and field trips to provide students with an orientation to a career as a professional engineer. Attendance at scheduled activities is the only course requirement. Final "grades" are reported as CR (Credit Granted) or NC (No Credit Granted).

Notes:

  • APSC 120 is an approved Science course.
  • For Engineering Transfer program and Engineering Transition program students only.

APSC 130 - Technical Drafting and Computer-Aided Design

3.00 credits

(0,4,0)

15 wks

In this hands-on lab-based course students will be introduced to hand drafting and computer-aided drafting techniques applied to engineering designs. Although it is intended for students in the Engineering programs, this course will be of interest to any discipline that involves the design of materials, structures, devices, systems, or processes according to specified criteria. Students will learn to communicate technical material in graphical form, and to read, understand, and produce basic engineering drawings. In addition, students will become familiar with some of the conventions and practices of graphical communication.

Prerequisites: Math Placement Test (Calculus MPT) or Pre-calculus 12 or MATH 105 or BMTH 054

Notes:

  • APSC 130 is an approved Science and Technology course for Cap Core requirements. APSC 130 is an approved Experiential course for Cap Core requirements.
  • APSC 130 is an approved Quantitative/Analytical course for baccalaureate degrees. APSC 130 is an approved Science course.

APSC 140 - Engineering Design

3.00 credits

(4,0,0)

15 wks

In this project-based course students will be introduced to the principles of engineering design and to the conventions of technical presentation. Case studies and sample problems will be used to elucidate these principles and conventions. Students will participate in the design of original solutions to new problems, and will communicate technical engineering material in graphical, written, and oral forms. Design problems will be chosen from a variety of engineering disciplines to give students some exposure to the different facets of engineering practise.

Prerequisites: APSC 130, and COMP 106 or COMP 120 as prerequisite with concurrency

Notes:

  • APSC 140 is an approved Science and Technology course for Cap Core requirements. APSC 140 is an approved Capstone course for Cap Core requirements.
  • APSC 140 is an approved Quantitative/Analytical course for baccalaureate degrees. APSC 140 is an approved Science course.

APSC 278 - Materials Science for Engineers

3.00 credits

(4,0,0)

15 wks

This course is an introduction to the underlying structure of solids from the atomic to the macroscopic scale. Students will examine the nature of defects, microstructure and mechanical, electrical and optical properties of materials.

Prerequisites: CHEM 111, PHYS 114 and MATH 116

Notes:

  • APSC 278 is an approved Quantitative/Analytical course for baccalaureate degrees.
  • APSC 278 is an approved Science course.
