BIT473 - Biotechniques
This course is an extension to the introduction of fundamental principles in techniques used in biotechnology. The lecture component will focus on the theory behind techniques involved in enzymatic analysis, DNA recombinant technology, and developmental genetics. The laboratory component will focus on the application of these techniques in a practical environment.
AIN573 - Analytical Instrumentation
This subject offers both lecture and laboratory components. This is an analytical chemistry course in which modern automated gas chromatographs with mass selective detectors, GC/MSD, and high performance liquid chromatographs, HPLC, are used for the quantitative determination of sample components. All HPLC and GC/MSD instruments are equipped with Agilent ChemStation software. Students create their own methods and carry out data analysis independently. Standard methods of analysis using an external standard calibration curve and the use of internal standards are incorporated into the chosen labs. Students prepare their own solutions and analyse unknowns independently. Wavelength selection for the detection of eluates in HPLC, the relationship between ? max and optimisation of the signal as well as terms relevant to accurate quantitation work are covered.
PHY453 - Physics
An introductory course in physics that covers the essential knowledge and skills students need for subsequent studies in chemistry and biological sciences. Topics include motion, energy, electric and magnetic forces, waves, light and optics. The course focuses on reasoning, helping students to see the relationships between physical ideas and their direct experiences and to hone their analytical and critical thinking skills needed for other courses and for their careers.
STA453 - Statistics
This one semester course provides an introduction into statistical methods for the sciences. In particular, the focus of the course will be on promoting an understanding of the theoretical foundation of basic statistical methods, as well as competence in conducting and interpreting basic statistical tests. Topics will be covered in class as time permits. Generally, the course will follow the layout of the textbook. Students are responsible for all material that is discussed in class or assigned (including material from the text and from other sources).
GEN001 - General Education Option
According to the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities, ?the purpose of General Education in the Ontario college system is to contribute to the development of citizens who are conscious of the diversity, complexity, and richness of the human experience; who are able to establish meaning through this consciousness; and, who, as a result, are able to contribute thoughtfully, creatively, and positively to the society in which they live and work. General Education strengthens students' generic skills, such as critical analysis, problem solving, and communication, in the context of an exploration of topics with broad-based personal and / or societal importance?. Please contact the School of English and Liberal Studies at your campus to find out more about the variety of General Education courses from which you can choose.
CPP100 - Co-op Professional Theory
Co-operative (co-op) education is meant to provide students with the opportunity to integrate academic learning with relevant work experience. It also provides the opportunity for students to learn more about themselves and their chosen field of study.
The purpose of co-op education is to enable students to make a smooth transition from the academic setting to a work environment.
CWT100 - Work Term
The student is employed in an approved and monitored co-op work/learn position in a field related to his/her academic program.
Pre-requisite: Successful completion of second semester and a GPA of 3.0
