FDY593 - Fire Dynamics - Advanced Principles







Using the fundamental heat transfer knowledge from FDY493, students will explore advanced fire dynamics principles regarding fire ignition, burning rate, growth, and spread.


Smoke development, and propagation, will be used to discuss fire plumes, quantities of productions of combustion for various fuels, flashover, backdraft, stack effect, and to predict sprinkler activation times.


An introduction to explosion mechanics and NFPA 68 protection methods will also be covered. The course will expand the concepts developed in prerequisite courses as they relate to the development of fires and explosions.

FIP593 - Fire Pumps


Students investigate positive displacement and centrifugal pumps as they are used in fire protection. Pump components, ancillary devices, electric motors, diesel engines, controllers, fittings and valves are covered. Students reference NFPA 20 regarding the selection and installation of Fire Pumps, and NFPA 25 regarding acceptance, maintenance and testing. Fire pumps are included in hydraulic calculations.

FMO693 - Fire Modelling


Today, one of the most exciting growth areas in fire engineering technology is the application of computers and computer fire models to the understanding and modeling of fire behaviour in all of its various manifestations. Fire modeling is a key element of the performance based design process.

This is a survey course that will introduce the student to, and provide hands on experience with, a variety of current tools that model the various elements of fire growth and behaviour. Students will progress from simple to complex models.

HDS593 - Hydraulic Systems


Hand calculation techniques acquired from HDS 493 will now be accomplished with the aid of a computer. The supplied software has been donated by HYDRATEC who distributes application software for sprinkler systems worldwide. Students will design and draw sprinkler systems on computers using HYDRACAD software. Hydraulic calculations will be performed using HYDRATEC HYDRAULICS software.

CPP200 - Work Integrated Learning Professional Practice


The integration of classroom activities with work term experiences is vital for the complete and successful learning and understanding of co-of work term experiences. Structured integration and reflective learning with peers provide the opportunity to make sense out of work experiences, to put these experiences into broader perspectives, and to internalize learning.
