APSC 120 —- INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING

A course designed to introduce students to the
Engineering profession. Information on the
profession, the branches of Engineering, and the
work conducted by practicing Engineers in the
different disciplines is provided. The course includes
field trips to various industries and guest lectures by
practising Engineers.

Pre-requisites: Admission to Engineering.

CHEM 122 — GENERAL CHEMISTRY I

CHEM 122: General Chemistry L is an introductory
general chemistry course leading into science or
engineering programs for students who have a
solid chemistry background, including Chemistry 12
or equivalent. After a short review of fundamental
chemistry, classical and quantum mechanical
concepts are used to discuss atomic and molecular
structure. The course ends with an investigation

of intermolecular forces in liquids and solids.

The lab work stresses scientific observations and
measurements using chemical syntheses and
quantitative analyses.

Pre-requisites: CHEM 12 or CHEM 62/63 or CHEM 710, and
Pre-calculus Math 11 (Principles of MATH 11) or Math o50
or MATH §2/53, each with a “C” or better. Pre-calculus
Math 12 (Principles of Math 12) or Math 051 or MATH
62/63 is recommended.

CHEM 125 — FOUNDATIONS OF CHEMISTRY II

CHEM 125: Fundamentals of Chemistry II is the
continuation for either CHEM 110 or CHEM 122.

The course consists of two major units: physical
chemistry and organic chemistry. The study of
physical chemistry begins with an investigation of
reaction rates (kinetics), followed by the principles
of equilibria applied to pure substances and aqueous
solutions, and an introduction to the laws of
thermodynamics. The second major unit is a survey
of the field of organic chemistry; topics include the
physical and chemical properties of alkanes and
alkenes, stereochemistry, and addition, substitution,
and elimination reactions. The laboratory work
involves the measurement of physical and chemical
properties as well as chemical syntheses.

Pre-requisites: CHEM 110 or CHEM 122 with a grade of
"C" or better, or written permission of the instructor and
School Chair.

CPSC 100 — INTRODUCTION
TO PROGRAMMING |

An introductory object-oriented (OO) programming
course with emphasis on basic programming
constructs, algorithms, program design, and good
programming practices. This course will introduce a
high-level language to illustrate programming basics.

76 ~—« Selkirk College Academic Calendar 2016-17

Students will develop and test small OO programs
which loop, make decisions, access arrays, define
classes, instantiate objects, and invoke methods.

Pre-requisites: Pre-calculus 12, Foundations 12, MATH
051 or MATH 50 with a grade of "C" or better, or written
permission of the Instructor and Schoo! Chair.

ENGL 110 - COLLEGE COMPOSITION

English 110 is about thinking and writing. You will
learn how to develop and express informed opinions
on issues that matter. You will also learn about
research, editing, and expository and persuasive
academic writing forms.

Pre-requisites: A “C” or better in ENGL 12 or equivalent
or LPI level 4 or written permission of the Instructor and
School Chair.

MATH 100 - CALCULUS I

A course designed to provide students with the
background in calculus needed for further studies.
This course includes: a review of functions

and graphs; limits; the derivative of algebraic,
trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions;
applications of the derivative including related

rates, maxima, minima, velocity and acceleration;
the definite integral; an introduction to elementary
differential equations; and, applications of integration
including velocity, acceleration, areas, and growth
and decay problems.

Pre-requisites: Pre-calculus 12, Principles of MATH 12
or equivalent with a grade of "C+" or better or written
permission of the Instructor and Schoo! Chair.

MATH 101 - CALCULUS II

This course is a sequel to MATH 100 for those
students who wish to major in mathematics,
sciences or applied sciences. The course includes:
antidifferentiation and integration; the definite
integral; areas and volumes; transcendental
functions; techniques of integration; parametric
equations; polar coordinates; indeterminate forms,
improper integrals and Taylor's formula; and infinite
series.

Pre-requisites: MATH 100 or equivalent with a grade of
"C" or better or written permission of the instructor and
School Chair.

MATH 221 - INTRODUCTORY
LINEAR ALGEBRA

Math 221: Introductory Linear Algebra, provides
an introduction to linear algebra and vector spaces.
Topics covered in the course include the solution

of systems of linear equations through Gaussian
elimination; matrices and matrix algebra; vector
spaces and their subspaces; coordinate mappings
and other linear transformations; construction

of Gram-Schmidt bases and least-square
approximations. Although the course devotes

a substantial amount of time to computational
techniques, it should also lead the student to develop
geometrical intuitions, to appreciate and understand
mathematical abstraction and to construct some
elementary proofs.

Pre-requisites: MATH 100 with a grade of "C" or better or
written permission of the instructor and Schoo! Chair.

PHYS 104 - FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS |

A calculus-based survey of mechanics and
thermodynamics. This course is designed for students
interested in further study in Physical Science and
Engineering.

Pre-requisites: PHYS 12 or equivalent with a grade of
"C" or better or written permission of the instructor and
School Chair.

PHYS 105 - FUNDAMENTAL PHYSICS II

A calculus-based survey of waves, sound, optics,
electricity and magnetism. This course is designed
for students interested in further study in Physical
Science and Engineering.

Pre-requisites: PHYS 104 and MATH 100 with a grade of
"C" or better or written permission of the instructor and
School Chair.

PHYS 200 - PRINCIPLES OF MECHANICS

This physics (engineering) course is designed to
further the student's ability to apply Newton's laws
of motion to problems which involve the following
concepts: coordinate systems; free body diagram;
equivalent force systems; the statics of particles and
rigid bodies; friction and force; particle mass and
acceleration. Problem-solving is emphasized, where
both analytic (vector) and graphic techniques are
used to solve the assigned problems.

Pre-requisites: PHYS 105, MATH 107 or its equivalent with

a grade of "C" or better, or admission to the Bridging
Program in Engineering.
