CHE251 - Fundamentals of Chemistry
Chemistry is central to the understanding of developments within industry that have led to interactions of soil, surface water, groundwater and the quality of ecosystems. This subject provides the student with an understanding of the structure and behaviour of matter from a chemical perspective and focuses on chemistry as it applies to environmental systems. Topics will include atomic structure and the periodic table, analytical chemistry and methodology, and, physical-chemical concepts.
ECD251 - Environmental CAD
This subject is a continuation of BEA001, intended to further develop students' drafting skills in the mapping and digital information field, through the use of computer aided drafting and design technology. Several tasks will provide the student with a variety of study areas requiring detailed drawings. The latest release of AutoCAD will be used as an example of a widely used industry standard.
MTA002 - Mathematics II
This subject continues the development of mathematical skills important to technology. Areas of study include linear equations and word problems, 3D geometry, graphing (logarithmic and semi logarithmic), logarithmic functions, and quadratic equations and descriptive statistics. Engineering and technology applications are stressed.
SIP251 - Sampling Instrumentation and Practices
This course is an introduction to environmental sampling practices as they relate to environmental site assessment and remediation in Ontario. The course emphasizes the application of current industry best practices for project health and safety and the use of standard techniques and instrumentation for sampling and monitoring programs for a variety of media.
Industry accepted sampling techniques for surface water, soil, sediment, and groundwater will be undertaken in the context of Ontario Regulation 153/04, as amended (O.Reg.153/04, as amended). Subject matter also includes identification of common contaminants of concern, transport mechanisms, human and ecological receptors, remediation/clean-up criteria and methods of remediation.
SVC001 - Surveying I
This subject covers the basic theoretical principles of surveying. Topics include the following: surveying accuracy, errors, distance and direction theory, angular measurements, differential levelling, traverse computations, coordinate geometry, mapping, and construction surveys. In addition, students will complete two field exercises using contemporary surveying instruments and techniques. Students will apply these principles and techniques while adhering to health and safety protocols and requirements for surveying activities within a civil and environmental context.
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.
