This course is the work integrated learning component of the Power Engineering program to be completed at an approved facility. Students will operate power and pressure equipment safely and efficiently, assess hazards, and comply with legislative acts and regulations while developing interpersonal and communication skills in real world environments.

Research, design, test, analyze, conclude, and defend a Technology Report (Capstone Project) relating to a significant power engineering issue.

This course covers topics relevant to power engineering such as chemistry fundamentals, metallurgy and materials, corrosion principles, industrial drawings, and fuels and combustion.

This course will cover various topics related to boilers including designs, construction, high-pressure boiler fittings, burner designs, draft and flue gas equipment, control systems, procedures, and water treatment. Also covered will be steam and gas turbines, cogeneration systems, wastewater treatment, and plant maintenance and administration.

This course covers topics focusing on safety, codes, and legislation in power engineering as well as code calculations, safety management systems, and fire protection systems.

This course will cover topics relating to refrigeration including refrigeration principles, systems, auxiliaries, and operation. Compressor theory, design, heat exchangers, and cooling towers will also be discussed.

This first introductory course in psychology gives students an understanding of themselves and other people through the study of basic concepts, principles, theories, and methods used in the scientific study of behaviour. The course covers research methods in psychology, the biological bases of behaviour, neurophysiology, sensation, perception, learning, states of consciousness, memory and cognition.

This second introductory course in psychology follows PY1040 and gives students an understanding of themselves and other people through the study of basic concepts, principles, theories, and methods used in the scientific study of behaviour. The course covers biological and cognitive development, emotion and motivation, social psychology, personality theories, mental and behavioural disorders, treatment of mental and behavioural disorders, and stress and health.

The course provides: an application of statistical methods to psychological problems; description of data in terms of averages, measures of variability and measures of relationships; correlation and regression; problems of sampling theory and statistical tests of hypothesis, covering both quantitative and qualitative perspectives. Greater emphasis will be placed upon understanding the relevant principles than upon performing the mathematical calculations.

Biological, cognitive and social aspects of psychological development will be explored, with special emphasis on infancy, childhood and adolescence.

This course examines human sexuality from biopsychological, developmental, behavioural, and psycho social perspectives. Students will learn about healthy and unhealthy sexuality and its potential psychological consequences on individuals and society.

This course is designed as an introductory course in quantitative research methods and statistics in psychology. Its primary goal is to direct students' development in critical thinking skills. Students will be able to make independent judgments and decisions based on reason and evidence as opposed to authority, tradition or opinion. The course will cover topics such as using objective measurement-based and inferential research strategies to develop hypotheses, designing appropriate data collection tools, analyzing and interpreting descriptive and inferential statistical results, and writing research reports and proposals.

This course is an introductory survey of representative theoretical points of view and research relevant to the major problems of the study of personality.

This course is an introduction to the study of how individuals view and affect one another in a social context. Topics covered include persuasion, prejudice, behaviour and attitudes, conformity, altruism, group influence, and attraction.

This course will involve a balanced coverage and critical analysis of both male and female issues. Material will be drawn from empirical research and conceptual discussions surrounding gender and gender roles. Examples of topics include the impact of stereotypes of masculinity and femininity, and gender in relation to power relations, mental health, intelligence, sexuality, violence, and caregiving. Are men and women really all that different? If so, how significant are the differences? Implications of similarities and differences will be discussed.

Students will examine the developmental, cognitive, biological, and behavioural processes involved in the development of various psychological disorders of children and adolescents with emphasis on causality, assessment, and treatment.

The general orientation of this course is the basic research perspective of the scientific definition, investigation, and modeling of the structures and processes of attention, perception, learning, memory, cognition, and consciousness. It is a course in the current established research traditions, theories, and paradigms of cognitive psychology.

This is an introduction to the field of health psychology and will examine psychological factors that influence physical health and illness. Topics that will be explored are stress management, mind-body issues, health promotion and health compromising behaviours, coping with critical and chronic illness, psychoimmunology, and social factors in health and illness.

Psychology is a relatively young science but its history is varied, intriguing, and extends well beyond the first psychologists. From its roots in early mythology, religion, Greek and Enlightenment philosophy, empiricism and evolution, to modern Psychodynamics, Humanism, Behaviourism, the Cognitive revolution, and neuroscience, we examine the trends, competing theoretical perspectives, and socio-political influences on the current discipline of psychology.

This course is an introduction to the neural basis of sensation, movement, learning, memory, motivation, and cognition as studies in both humans and other animals.
