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.

This course introduces power engineering students to refrigeration, HVAC, and heating/cooling systems, covering the principles, maintenance, and operation of various components and control systems strategies.

In this course, students will learn about the jurisdictional legislation, codes, and standards for power engineers, as well as plant safety and environmental considerations. They will also gain knowledge of general plant safety, including safety programs, procedures for handling dangerous materials, and fire safety, as well as the environmental impact of plant operation.

This course covers the fundamental aspects of boiler safety, operations, water treatment, and building systems. This material will include pressure relief valves, safety controls, efficient boiler procedures, water treatment, drainage, lighting, and steam-related processes.

This course covers various topics related to power engineering such as boiler designs, components, and operation. The course will also cover different types of piping, valve designs, plant sketches, and communication systems.

This course provides an overview of elementary mechanics and dynamics, as well as elementary chemistry and thermodynamics, covering topics such as forces, moments, equilibrium, velocity, power, and energy, as well as properties of materials, stress and deformation, power transmission systems, and thermodynamics principles.

This course covers foundational mathematical topics relevant to engineering technologies such as algebraic manipulation, trigonometry, geometry, exponents, logarithms, and functions as well as basic linear algebra concepts. It aims to improve problem-solving and critical thinking skills and prepare students for studies in calculus and applied engineering physics.

Paramedics work as team members in highly stressful environments with other first responders and health care professionals. As a team member, paramedics require strong professional, communication, collaboration, mentorship, self-reflective, and leadership abilities. Providing safe and competent care to patients and their families requires understanding the importance of research and evidence-based practice. Paramedic practice is guided by a Code of Ethics, Standards of Practice, legislative/regulatory requirements, and the ability to maintain physical/mental health and injury prevention. Paramedic practice also requires the practitioner to recognize the value of continuous quality improvement, risk management, and continuing competency processes. This course will discuss these concepts and provide learners with the resources and support to practice as a professional paramedic.

Obtaining an accurate health history and performing a systematic physical examination is essential in paramedicine practice. Paramedics must be able to accurately describe and document assessment findings. This course will support students in developing efficient, thorough, and systematic histories and physical examinations of patients who are in different states of physical, mental, and emotional health.

This course focuses on the theoretical knowledge required for safe medication administration. Knowledge of human anatomy and physiology will be integrated into the curriculum as mechanisms of action, therapeutic effects, adverse effects, and drug interactions are explored. The study of common drug classifications along with selected frequently used medications in each classification will be included. Legislation is reviewed with regards to over the counter and prescription drugs, and political, social, economic, and ethical factors will be discussed. Applicable professional practice interventions are examined with supporting rationale.
