This ensemble is an opportunity for students to work on performance skills and to showcase their electroacoustic and multimedia works. Small ensemble work will help students develop creative compositional and improvisational skills. Students experience the process of developing and executing a large scale multimedia performance, scheduled for the second semester, and possibly a CD that represents the students' work. This is a two-term course offered over fall/winter terms. It is identifiable in the Schedule of Courses (Timetable) with a Part A and a Part B. Students must register in both the Part A and the Part B of all types of sections offered (sections, labs, seminars, etc.) for this course.

This course will develop familiarity and skills with music notation software to allow students to present their works professionally in hard copy. Concepts and practices of engraving will be discussed.

The course will include a review of analytic geometry; functions, limits, continuity; differentiation of elementary functions; applications to maxima, minima and rates; introduction to integration; Fundamental Theorem; numerical integration; and areas and other applications of the definite integral to areas.

Applications of integration to areas, volumes, work force and arc lengths are included in this course. Differentiation and integration of exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions; techniques of integration; indeterminate forms and improper integrals.

The course provides a review of programming principles (specification, implementation and testing), and an extension of object-oriented concepts from CS1140 including data abstraction, modular program construction and program reuse. The emphasis is on dynamic data structures (eg. lists, string, stacks, queues, tables), and their associated algorithms (eg. recursion, traversal, sorting, searching, hashing).

This course provides opportunities to explore emerging technologies. Emphasis is placed on identifying, researching, and presenting current technological topics for class consideration and discussion. Upon completion, students will be able to understand the importance of keeping abreast of technological changes that affect the office professional.

This course will be a survey and interpretation of theories and findings in the field of emotion and motivation. It is designed primarily for serious students of theoretical psychology and the behavioural sciences, students interested in their own intellectual growth and development, and students who wish to understand human behaviour. This course will describe and evaluate the scientific method and the process of theory building in psychology, a selection of theories on motivation and emotions, and an application of these theories to individual behaviour.

A comprehensive exploration of both theoretical principles and practical applications crucial for delivering effective patient care. This course employs a hybrid approach, combining online learning modules with in-person instruction and patient engagement to provide students with a rounded understanding of medical theory, practical skills, assessment techniques, clinical presentations, and diagnostics pertinent to the management of ill and injured patients.

The course emphasizes active application of acquired theoretical knowledge through participation in skills, scenarios, and simulation environments. Through simulated patient care scenarios, and patient engagement students refine their ability to handle emergency calls efficiently, administer safe patient care, and navigate medical and trauma situations with assuredness.

Within this course is a 16-hour Patient Engagement which offers hands-on experience for Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) students, focusing on assessment, communication, and interpersonal skills essential for professional practice. Under the guidance of an assigned instructor/preceptor, students will practice and refine skills in a supervised environment. Throughout the patient engagement, students will uphold the standards of the profession and represent Northwestern Polytechnic with integrity. They will integrate the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice into their professional conduct, while incorporating communication, history-taking, assessment techniques, clinical presentations, and diagnostic findings.

This blended approach equips students with the skills, confidence, and expertise necessary to respond effectively to the complexities of emergency medical situations.

A study of the implications of the laws of thermodynamics for transformations of matter including phase changes, chemical reactions, and biological processes. Topics include: thermochemistry; entropy change and spontaneity of processes; activity and chemical potential; chemical and phase equilibria; properties of solutions; simple one- and two-compound phase diagrams. The conceptual development of thermodynamic principles from both macroscopic and molecular levels, and the application of these principles to systems of interest to chemists, biochemists, and engineers will be emphasized.

Primarily a lab based course where the students' knowledge will be challenged and troubleshooting skills developed. Students will be required to successfully diagnose and repair engine faults in a real world setting.

With a focus on Caterpillar fuels systems, this course will examine: diesel fuel and storage, combination processes, starting aids, the fuel injection system, system service, fuel nozzles and injectors, tune-up and engine performance analysis, and emergency shutdown systems. Electronic fuel and engine management systems will be emphasized.

Focusing on the Caterpillar engine product line, this course examines engine function, component, operation, and systems. This includes the disassembly, inspection, and reassembly of a running diesel engine.

Sketching, drafting and interpretation of pictorials and multi views of three-dimensional objects, visual design, introduction to scales, sectioning, and dimensioning are included in the course content. Computer aided drawing and design are a requirement in this course.

Equilibrium of planar systems. Analysis of statically determinate trusses and frames. Friction. Centroids and centres of gravity. Forces and moments in beams. Second moments of area.

A post-secondary level English course designed to improve the professional communication skills of students. Emphasis is given to the study of grammar, academic and reflective writing, and business communication.

This course aims to develop the student's ability to provide effective written and oral information. It will focus on instruction in fundamental writing skills, including building effective sentences and paragraphs, and on learning to communicate clearly across a range of genres and media used in academic and professional contexts, including correspondence and presentations. Students will be introduced to the principles of information gathering, analysis, and citation.

In this course, students work to improve their reading comprehension by studying various genres including short stories, drama, poetry, and nonfiction. There will be opportunities for both oral and written expression (paragraphs and essays) with a focus on mastery of punctuation, grammar and sentence construction.

This course includes a sampling of the major forms of literature. Both oral and written communication will be emphasized. Special attention will be paid to the planning, drafting and revising of the student essay.

This course includes a study of the five basic forms in literature: essays, short stories, novels, drama and poetry. Both oral presentations and written compositions are required - mainly essays and one major research paper.
