Excerpt from Senate Bylaw 1

8. Declarations of conflict of interest

8.01 At the beginning of each meeting of Senate or any of Senate’s committees or councils, the chair will call for members to declare any conflicts of interest

with regard to any agenda item. For agenda items to be discussed in closed session, the chair will call for declarations of conflict of interest at the

beginning of the closed portion of the meeting. Members may nonetheless declare conflicts at any time during a meeting.

8.02 A member shall be considered to have an actual, perceived or potential conflict of interest, when the opportunity exists for the member to use confidential information gained as a member of Senate, or any of Senate’s

committees or councils, for the personal profit or advantage of any person, or use the authority, knowledge or influence of the Senate, or a committee

or council thereof, to further her/his personal, familial or corporate interests or the interests of an employee of the university with whom the member has a marital, familial or sexual relationship.

8.03 Members who declare conflicts of interest shall not enter into debate nor vote upon the specified item upon which they have declared a conflict of

interest. The chair will determine whether it is appropriate for said member to remove themselves from the meeting for the duration of debate on the

specified item(s).

8.04 Where Senate or a committee or council of Senate is of the opinion that a

conflict of interest exists that has not been declared, the body may declare by a resolution carried by two-thirds of its members present at the meeting

that a conflict of interest exists and a member thus found to be in conflict shall not enter into debate on the specified item upon which they have declared a conflict of interest. The chair will determine whether it is

appropriate for said member to remove themselves from the meeting for the duration of debate on the specified item(s).

role in the centre and changes. d. Coniglio stated that at the upcoming meeting of Senate there will be recognition of four instructors who will

receive the Distinguished Teacher Award. e. Members observed that corridors will be established with the new SMA which are still to be determined. There

may be potential for fungibility between undergraduate and graduate spaces, and it would be good to consider the balance between domestic and international students. This will be discussed at the next meeting.

f. Members inquired as to the progress in filling the role of sexual violence response coordinator, and observed that filling this position has been delayed but that efforts are ongoing.

6. NEXT MEETING The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday 11 April 2017, 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. in NH 3318.

To: Senate Undergraduate Council

From: Rocco Fondacaro | Director, Student & Faculty Relations, CECA

Date: March 24, 2017.

Re: Creation of co-op certificates

Motion: The Senate Undergraduate Council approve the creation of co-operative education certificates and approve new calendar text (text attached) for the co-op degree designation page, outlining their existence, for the effective 2018-2019 calendar.

Background

The goal of this framework is to support continuous and evolutionary innovation in co-operative education, to ensure that our program remains aligned with the needs of our stakeholders (University of Waterloo, employers, and students). After broad consultation with all stakeholder groups and endorsement from each Faculty, Co-operative Education & Career Action (CECA) would like to formally recognize students who have developed a deeper exposure to certain skill sets or industries through their co-op experiences.

The proposed calendar text discusses co-op certificates more broadly, followed by the specific requirements for the Co-op Research Certificate. Based on the consultations to date, it has been identified that there may be other co-op certificates that the University may wish to recognize in the future. The proposed text would establish a framework for developing such certificates in the future.

Proposed Requirements

The Co-op Research Certificate will be available to students who complete:

• Three research work terms (approved by CECA as research according to guidelines to be developed per Faculty);

• One research professional development (PD) course (yet to be developed); and,

• A capstone activity or event (yet to be developed).

Co-operative Education & Career Action


March 24, 2017 2

Calendar text additions outlining the existence of this certificate would be limited to the existing “Co-operative Education & Career Action” section of the calendar. See proposed calendar text attached.

Rationale

The rationale behind the creation of this certificate aligns with the University’s strategic plan to lead and differentiate in the areas of transformational research and experiential education. The certificate advances the recognition of research-intensive work-term experiences for undergraduate students.

Additional Information

The registrar’s office would administer co-op certificates. CECA has committed to engaging the Faculties to establish the outline/syllabus for a research-focused PD course. WatPD has already provided their support for development of this course (contingent on funding). When the course is developed, it will come forward for approval. Finally, CECA would engage Faculty partners to assess the capstone requirements.

New Calendar Text


Co-operative Degree Designation

Co-op Certificates

While pursuing a co-operative degree designation, some students choose to pursue work-term

experiences that allow them to develop a deeper exposure to certain skill sets or industries.

Co-op certificates are offered through Co-operative Education & Career Action (CECA) to

formally recognize these specialized experiences.

To be eligible to receive a co-op certificate, students must complete all the specified

requirements listed for the certificate in question and meet all of their program’s requirements

for a co-op degree designation. Note that an individual work term may not be counted toward

more than one co-op certificate.

Co-op Research Certificate

Students will be eligible to receive a Co-op Research Certificate if they complete the following

requirements:

1. Receive credit for at least three work-term experiences with a research work-term

indicator (i.e., “RES” indicator).

2. Receive credit for a professional development course focusing on research, which can

also count toward the PD requirements for the Co-operative Degree Designation.

3. Complete the Co-op Research Certificate capstone activity or event. Students can earn

this requirement through successful completion of an approved workshop or an online

module.

For additional details, visit the Co-operative Education website.

To: Senate Undergraduate Council

From: Rocco Fondacaro | Director, Student & Faculty Relations, CECA

Date: March 24, 2017.

Re: Amend Co-operative Education & Career Action calendar text to allow flexible work terms

Motion: The Senate Undergraduate Council approve the amendment to the Co-operative Education & Career Action (CECA) section of the calendar, to allow students to pursue flexible work terms as specified and to approve revisions to the calendar text (text attached) to reflect current practice and add reference to work-term indicators and co-op certificates.

Current Practice

Each co-op program at Waterloo (except Pharmacy) has a sequence that includes four, five or six work terms. Students must complete four or five work terms successfully (plus PD courses and work reports) to have the co-op designation on their degree. Currently each work term must meet a set of criteria to determine whether a COOP credit can be issued for the successful completion of the work term.

Proposed Practice

The accreditation body for Canadian co-op programs dictates a minimum of three work terms for a university undergraduate degree program. Hence, we will require that students complete three work terms according to existing ‘standard work-term criteria’, and students can choose to complete their additional work terms according to ‘standard work-term criteria’ or new ‘flexible work-term criteria’.

Proposed calendar text (text attached) will make reference to these flexible work terms and link to the CECA website for additional information. An additional change to this section of the calendar is the addition of work-term indicators, which will be required to track flexible work terms and work terms contributing to co-op certificates. Work-term indicators would be assigned by CECA Education staff, applying criteria set in consultation with the Faculties and approved by



March 24, 2017 5

the Co-operative Education Council (CEC). The registrar’s office has been consulted regarding the feasibility and implementation of co-op indicators. Some minor changes are also suggested to more directly articulate the requirements of the co-op degree designation and who is responsible for administering each requirement.

Rationale and Background

The goal of this framework is to support continuous and evolutionary innovation in co-operative education, to ensure that our program remains aligned with the needs of our stakeholders (University of Waterloo, employers, and students).

Although most students will likely continue with all standard work terms, there will be many students who benefit from more flexibility. Flexible work terms recognize students’ diverse goals in an ever-changing world of work and formally acknowledge opportunities that do not fit within the standard work-term criteria. (For example, flexible work-term criteria will provide credit for humanitarian work or for combining two work experiences over the course of four months.)

Flexible work terms would formally operationalize and add transparency to the approval of opportunities that students currently pursue on their own and would reduce the administrative resources used to process these.

By formally recognizing an increasing number of experiences, the University of Waterloo will be able to build new relationships with new employers and have a voice in additional spheres. Any risk associated with changing co-operative education is eclipsed by the innovative enhancements made to the framework, further differentiating University of Waterloo’s co-operative education program and maintaining its prominence.

It is not the intention of the flexible work-term criteria to expand unpaid opportunities. This risk will be mitigated with the expansion of a rigorous alternative remuneration framework that will seek input from each Faculty. Each Faculty can identify opportunities that University of Waterloo co-op students will be able to take part in that will follow the alternative remuneration framework. This is meant to address situations where it is disadvantageous for University of Waterloo students to be co-op students because they cannot access the experience they need from a specific industry due to its culture of not compensating students through traditional remuneration. There is a hope that, over time, the employers will recognize the value of the students and compensate them appropriately.

Additional Information

Note that not all students can take advantage of flexible work terms. For example, Pharmacy students complete three work terms during their program, and all will need to follow ‘standard work-term criteria’.

Original Calendar Text

(Note: Hyperlinks attached to blue text).




Graduates completing the Co-operative Education system requirements will receive a "Co-

operative" degree designation. Co-operative registration, work term requirements, and

internal transfer of work terms credits can be found in the Co-operative Education website.

Both the completion of Waterloo Professional Development Program (WatPD) courses and a

minimum number of work reports are requirements of a Co-operative degree designation.

Work reports are administered by your faculty.

Revised Calendar Text (clean)





Graduates completing the co-operative education degree requirements will receive a "Co-

operative" degree designation. These requirements, determined by the Faculty, include

completion of:

Co-op work terms and receiving credit for the corresponding COOP courses. Work

terms are administered by Co-operative Education & Career Action (CECA), with

requirements developed in conjunction with each Faculty.

Professional development courses that are administered by the Waterloo Professional

Development Program (WatPD).

Work reports and/or reflections that are administered by the degree-granting Faculty.

The required number of work terms, professional development courses, and work

reports/reflections for each program is detailed in the Study/Work Sequence table.

To be eligible to count toward a co-operative degree designation, employment must meet

standard or flexible work-term requirements. These criteria are set jointly by CECA and the

Faculties, and allow for the degree designations to be eligible for Canadian Association for Co-

operative Education (CAFCE) accreditation.

March 24, 2017 7

Students must complete at least three work terms meeting standard work-term requirements

and must complete additional work terms (standard or flexible work-term requirements) as

specified by their program (see Study/Work Sequence table).

The University also offers credentials attached to co-op degree designations. These

credentials are detailed under co-op certificates.

Work-Term Indicators

Students wishing to obtain co-op certificates or other University of Waterloo credentials may

wish to pursue work-term experiences with a specific focus. For example, students wishing to

obtain a co-op research certificate would pursue a work term flagged as a research

experience.

The following indicator(s) can be applied to a work-term experience and will be

displayed on a student’s academic transcript.

Indicator Work-Term Indicator

RES Research Work-Term Indicator

Work-term indicators can only be applied to work terms with the approval of CECA. Details on

the requirements and procedures for adding a work-term indicator can be found on the co-

operative education website.

In addition to the above indicators, work terms approved under flexible work-term

requirements will be tracked in Quest, though will not have the associated work-term

indicator displayed on a student’s academic transcript.

Possible ‘Standard or Flexible Work-Term Requirements’

Co-operative Education Landing Page


Work-Term Requirements

Work terms must meet a number of criteria to be eligible to count toward a co-operative

degree designation. These criteria are set jointly by Co-operative Education & Career Action

(CECA) and the Faculties, and allow for the degree designations to be eligible for Canadian

Association for Co-operative Education (CAFCE) Accreditation.

At least three of a student’s co-op work terms must meet standard work-term

requirements. The remaining work terms can meet either standard or flexible work- term

requirements. (Refer to Co-op Degree Designation in calendar for more details)

Standard Work-Term Requirements

Students seeking credit for a work term experience must normally:

Receive remuneration for the work performed.

Be working full-time (35 – 40 hours per week).

Work for a period of 16 continuous weeks during the term in question.

Be working for a single employer.

Be supervised by an impartial third-party (e.g., not related to the student) who will submit an evaluation of the student’s performance during the work term.

Be working in an area related to the student’s program of study, as determined by criteria set jointly by CECA and the student’s Faculty.

Exceptions to the above requirements can be granted when circumstances exist to support

such accommodation. For example, exceptions are routinely granted to ensure that students

with disabilities have equal access to co-operative education programming.

Flexible Work Terms

Flexible work terms are work terms in which one or more of the standard work-term

requirements are fully or partially waived. Flexible work terms can only be counted toward a

Co-operative Degree Designation and/or Co-op Certificate if a student has enough work

terms remaining to complete and receive credit for at least three work-term experiences

that meet the standard work-term requirements.

Approval of work terms under flexible work-term requirements is at the complete discretion

of CECA. Not all of the standard work-term requirements are negotiable and the types of

work-term experiences that will be accepted as flexible work terms are dependent on

criteria set by each Faculty. As a starting point for approval, students seeking credit for a

flexible work-term experience must normally:

Arrange their own employment, with a rationale provided for how the

work term meets their specific career goals.

Include a minimum of 420 hours of work, normally within the standard 16-week

term.

Not include extended breaks or periods off.

Be working for a single employer, or combine work from two employers.

http://ugradcalendar.uwaterloo.ca/page/Co-operative-Degree-Designation

March 24, 2017 9

Have a supervisor(s) submit an evaluation of the student’s performance during the

work term. When two evaluations are received, they will be consolidated by CECA.

Receive compensation or meet the requirements of an alternative remuneration

arrangement which may differ by Faculty and are approved by CECA on a case by

case basis.

TO SENATE UNDERGRADUATE COUNCIL (April 11, 2017) FROM APPLIED HEALTH SCIENCES FACULTY COUNCIL (March 24, 2017)

Undergraduate curriculum changes from Applied Health Sciences for inclusion in the 2018/2019 Undergraduate Calendar

1. ACADEMIC PROGRAM/PLAN CHANGES (For Approval) 1.1. Department of Kinesiology 1.1.1. To revise the Human Nutrition Minor degree requirements, effective September 2018, as follows:

The Human Nutrition Minor examines the effects of diet and food on health and disease in human individuals and at the population level. Fundamental and applied knowledge in human nutrition is deemed crucial for a variety of health professions. The study of nutrition includes investigations of cellular metabolism and physiological responses to nutrients, the impact of diet on chronic disease risk, and examinations of food choices in populations. As such, the study of nutrition is multidisciplinary, but at the core requires a fundamental understanding of biochemistry and physiology. The kinesiology core includes physiology, biochemistry, and nutrition courses and the minor is designed to provide these fundamentals followed by the application of the basic concepts of nutrition to various aspects of health and disease. The Human Nutrition Minor is open to University of Waterloo students who wish to obtain some specialization in nutrition. Legend * Transfer course equivalency, topic of independent study, research projects and essay courses, must be approved in advance by the course supervisor and associate chair, undergraduate studies. Degree Requirements 1. Students must be in an honours or three- or four-year general program at the University of Waterloo. 2. Normally, a maximum of 2.5 units (5 courses) obtained on a Letter of Permission or in transfer credit may be applied

toward fulfillment of the Human Nutrition Minor course requirements. These courses must be equivalent to courses listed in the course requirements (including any prerequisites) as assessed by the department offering the replaced course.

3. Successful completion of 5.0 units from the following requirements: • Required courses (2.5 units):

o BIOL 373 o KIN 146 o KIN 343 o KIN 346 o KIN 446

• Electives (2.5 units): Select five courses from the following list: o BIOL 241 o BIOL 345 o HLTH 340 o HLTH 355 o HLTH 360 o HLTH 407/KIN 407 o HLTH 421 o HLTH 449 o HLTH 471 o KIN 307 o KIN 342 o KIN 404 o KIN 405 o KIN 408 o KIN 429 o KIN 431 Research Proposal (Nutrition)* o KIN 432 Research Project (Nutrition)* or HLTH 432B Honours Thesis (B) (Nutrition)* o KIN 433 Senior Essay (Nutrition)* or KIN 472 Directed Study in Special Topics (Nutrition)* or HLTH

472 Independent Study (Nutrition)* or HLTH 473 Contemporary Issues in Health (Nutrition)* o KIN 471 Contemporary Issues in Kinesiology (Nutrition)*

Rationale: The School of Public Health and Health Systems is inactivating HLTH 360 effective September 1, 2018. 1.2. Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies 1.2.1. To revise the Tourism Option requirements, effective September 2018, as follows:

An option is a specified combination or grouping of courses which provides the student with an emphasis in a particular discipline. The Tourism Option is available to all University of Waterloo undergraduate degree students. The option is designed for students specializing in tourism impacts, tourism planning, tourism marketing, heritage, and outdoor recreation. The requirements for the Tourism Option are eight courses (four core and four elective) with a minimum cumulative overall average of 65%. Environment students must have approval of the Office of the Associate Dean Undergraduate Studies, Faculty of Environment to use their thesis towards this option. Recreation and Leisure Studies students should seek advice from the Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies academic advisor. Tourism Option

• Required courses (2.0 units): • GEOG 233 • REC 280 • REC 383/GEOG 323 • One 400 level tourism course from the following list: GEOG 430C (1.5 units), REC 425/PLAN 414, REC

433/ENVS 433, REC 475 (Tourism/Commercial Recreation), REC 480, a tourism related thesis REC 471A and REC 471B (1.0 unit) or GEOG 490A and GEOG 490B (1.0 unit). Please see the appropriate academic advisor for thesis approval.

• Elective courses (2.0 units):

Select four courses from the following, with at least two of the course being greater than the 200 level. • ANTH 348 • ECON 220 • ENGL 208M • GEOG 333/REC 333 • HRM 200 • REC 215 • REC 218 • REC 230 • REC 311 • REC 312 • REC 380 • REC 422 • REC 425/PLAN 414 • REC 433/ENVS 433 • REC 480

Rationale: The Department of Geography and Environmental Management, which has been teaching this course for many years,

will no longer be offering GEOG 333/REC 333. This is a joint submission with the Faculty of Environment. 2. FOR INFORMATION 2.1. School of Public Health and Health Systems 2.1.1. To change the inactivation date of HLTH 360, ‘Psychological Determinants of Health’ from May 1, 2018 to September 1,

2018. Rationale: Course inactivations should follow the Senate Undergraduate Council effective date chart, in order to be included or

removed from the undergraduate calendar. Changing the inactivation date of HLTH 360 from May 1, 2018 (originally approved at Senate Undergraduate Council October 2015) to September 1, 2018 allows the course to remain in the 2017/2018 Undergraduate Calendar.

… Rationale: The sequence change will synchronize the departmental co-op streams with the much larger Arts and Business co-op - Economics stream. This will allow the department to offer a broader selection of upper year elective courses to students in the departmental co-op programs. All co-op students will all be on campus in the Fall and Winter terms of fourth year, allowing us to schedule more 400 level electives and giving students more choice and easier access to specializations in economics. The current sequence, under which only departmental co-op students are on campus in Spring for 4A, has limited these students’ access to elective courses during 4A. The current sequence also implies the need for the department to offer two advanced courses required for the Intensive Specialization and Mathematical Economics in the spring term. While we do not yet know participation in the Intensive Specialization, the likely enrollment in these courses will be very small, and Mathematical economics is also a small enrollment program. Furthermore, given the pattern of teaching and research terms in the department, it would be a challenge to staff these courses in the most appropriate way. Proposed calendar: 2018. This means that this would apply to students starting in an Econ co-op plan in 2A in F18, with the first actual impact on scheduling for Spring 2021. This request is supported by CECA.

NEW COURSES (for approval)

English Language & Literature

Effective 01-JAN-2018ENGL 108G ( 0.50 ) LEC Horror

A study of the contemporary horror genre in literature and film. Topics may includethe history of horror, the construction of fear, and the development of horrorarchetypes. Authors and creators may include H.P. Lovecraft, Shirley Jackson, GeorgeRomero, and Stephen King.

Rationale : We believe this course will have broad, University-wide appeal and uptakeas a first-year elective. Horror literature is widely read, but also worthyof intense literary and critical scrutiny, though it rarely receives thistype of attention. The genre has historical, psychological, socio-cultural,political, and rhetorical dimensions that will be explored. Moreover, thisis a genre that many students have already formed a connection with,meaning that many students will feel some membership within the genre andits community of readers before the course even begins.

Effective 01-JAN-2018ENGL 491 ( 0.50 ) LEC Topics in Literature and Rhetoric

A special study of a selected topic in literature and rhetoric. Please see courseinstructor for details.

Requisites : Prereq: Level at least 3A English majorsRationale : We have an entire plan with the title "Literature and Rhetoric."

"Literature and Rhetoric" also names the key overlap in expertise in thedepartment. That is, unlike any other department in Canada, and unlike mostdepartments in the world, ours brings together literary and rhetoricalteaching and research in unique and dynamic ways. Yet we don't currentlyhave a special topic with this theme, so we should.

Psychology

Effective 01-JAN-2018PSYCH 357 ( 0.50 ) LEC Psychology of Good

What does it mean to "be good"? How does one "do good"? What makes "doing good"easier or harder? This course examines (1) the biological and psychosocialfoundations of prosocial behaviour and (2) associated facilitators and obstacles atboth interpersonal and organizational levels. Topics may include empathy, socialresponsibility, volunteerism, community intervention, activism, and heroism.

Requisites : Prereq: PSYCH 101/101RRationale : The proposed course complements existing course offerings (e.g., PSYCH 231

[Psychology of Religious Experience], PSYCH 232 [Psychology of Evil]) andis expected to include an experiential component (e.g., teams assigned tointerview multiple individuals affiliated with a helping organization). Thecourse is expected to generate broad-based interest beyond Psychologystudents (e.g., Religious Studies; Peace and Conflict Studies; Sexuality,Marriage, and Family Studies). The conceptual breadth and topical array ofthe proposed course does not duplicate any Psychology course offering atthe University of Waterloo. The focus of PSYCH 226R (Positive Psychology)is primarily on factors that enhance wellbeing of the self, whereas theprimary emphasis of the new PSYCH 357 (Psychology of Good) is on that whichcontributes to the wellbeing of others; the instructor of PSYCH 226R hasverified the distinctness of the two courses. The Director of Peace andConflict Studies has also noted minimal overlap with that program's courseofferings. The proposed course has received main campus PsychologyDepartment support.

Renison University College

Effective 01-JAN-2018EASIA 336R ( 0.50 ) LEC Korean Pop Culture

This course explores elements of popular culture such as film, music, television, andvideo games in relation to social, cultural, and political developments incontemporary South Korea. Students critically analyze readings and non-print media toconsider South Korean popular culture in national, regional, and global contexts.

Requisites : Prereq: Level at least 2A. Antireq: EASIA 391R taken Fall 2016Rationale : A recent student survey indicated interest in East Asian popular culture

courses. We are moving to diversify our offerings in East Asian Studies, aswell as lean toward greater attention to popular culture among the variousprograms of the Culture and Language Studies department. Currently Korea isthe area with the fewest courses in East Asian Studies. This move supportsprogram review recommendations endorsed in the two-year progress report of2016 for East Asian Studies.

Religious Studies

Effective 01-JAN-2018RS 229R ( 0.50 ) LEC Christianity and Social Change in Canada

How has Christianity been a force for both oppression and liberation in Canada'shistory? This course examines the involvement of Christianity in such Canadianmatters as racism, colonization, and the creation of the social welfare state. [Note:This course fulfils an Area 3B requirement for Religious Studies majors.]

Course Attributes: Offered at Renison University CollegeRationale : Knowledge about religious impacts on culture, policy, and other elements of

Canadian society is crucial for understanding Canadian history and thepresent. However, Religious Studies offers only one course thatspecifically looks at Christianity in Canada (RS 245 [The Catholic Churchin Canada]). A second course, RS 319 (Religion in Canada), considers allreligions (including Buddhism, Sikhism, etc) and is not focused on mattersof social change per se. We expect this course will be of interest toHistory, Social Development Studies, and other programs.

Effective 01-JAN-2018RS 259R ( 0.50 ) LEC Gender, Sexuality, and Christianity

What do the churches say about sex and gender? This course examines how matters ofthe body have affected Christian spirituality, particularly in the lives of women andLGBTQ persons. [Note: This course fulfils an Area 3C requirement for ReligiousStudies majors.]

Course Attributes: Offered at Renison University CollegeRationale : RS 253 (Women and the Church) was deactivated, effective Fall 2017, because

it had not been offered in years. Upon reassessment, this deactivationseems to have been made too hastily, as this is an important area of bothhistorical and contemporary concern. However, we wish to transform how thetopic is delivered, with a second focus on issues of sexuality, not justgender. The course will act as a feeder for RS 325 (Sex and the WorldReligions) and RS 355 (Christian Feminist Thought), which are upper-levelcourses that currently have no clear lower-level foundational courses (infact, RS 355 [Christian Feminist Thought] currently carries a prerequisiteof RS 253 [Women and the Church], despite that course being deactivated;this will replace that deactivated course). We also anticipate the coursewill be of use to Women's Studies; Sexuality, Marriage, and Family Studies;and other programs.

Effective 01-JAN-2018RS 265R ( 0.50 ) LEC Religion Online

How do people find spirituality on the Internet? This course examines how believersand seekers practice religion online and use the Internet to promote religiousbelief. The course considers the emergence of online religions, as well as prospectsfor the future of faith and spirituality online. [Note: This course fulfils an Area3C requirement for Religious Studies majors.]

Course Attributes: Only offered Online Offered at Renison University CollegeRationale : While a number of Religious Studies courses are offered online, none

considers religion as an online phenomenon. From the Internet's emergencein the mid-1990s to the advent of social media and the prospect of virtualreality, the relationship between religious belief and the online world has





been an important area of scholarly research. This course is concerned withhow believers use the Internet to communicate about their religion, howseekers use the Internet to explore religion, and also how religiouspractice has been translated to the online environment.

Sociology and Legal Studies

Effective 01-JAN-2018LS 328 ( 0.50 ) LEC Trafficking and Financial Crime

St Jerome's University

Effective 01-JAN-2018ITALST 265 ( 0.50 ) LEC Mafia Culture and the Power of Symbols, Rituals, and Myth

The course analyzes the visual media representation of the Mafia in North America. Itfocuses on the manner in which North American visual culture often glorifies theItalian Mafiosi's lifestyle. As this characterization of both the Mafia and theMafiosi began with the archetypal figures of the bosses, special attention will begiven to the visual practices of the 1930s, to Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather"trilogy, as well as to the television series "The Sopranos." The goal is todeconstruct the romanticized portrayal of the Italian and Italian-American gangsterlifestyle created on visual media and television by analyzing the atrocitiescommitted by organized crime.

Course Attributes: Offered at St. Jerome's UniversityRequisites : Antireq: ITALST 396 taken Winter 2017 (Topic: Mafia Culture and Myth)Rationale : This course would move a special topics course into the regular slate of

course offerings, enhancing the current offerings in our program ofstudies. It does so by combining a much-discussed social and criminalphenomenon with visual media. Judging from the popularity and appeal it hasgarnered at other universities where it has been taught it is expected toattract large numbers of students.

Rationale : To change title and description. This introduces a course on gender,currently lacking in English course offerings. It adds to the new andattractive first year course offerings.

since women often wrote from outside these movements. "Since 1900" isomitted since the course no longer directly follows up on ENGL 108E (was[Women in Literature] changing at this meeting to [Gender andRepresentation]) and thus needs the scope to range over examples fromdifferent time periods.

Effective 01-JAN-2018Title Change: Gender and RepresentationDescription Change: A study of the ways gender in all its diversity is constructed and gendered

experience is expressed in literature, rhetoric, and a variety of media.Rationale : To change title and description. This introduces a course on gender,

currently lacking in English course offerings. It adds to the new andattractive first year course offerings. It takes a broader approach togender, and would appeal to a wider variety of students, than the current108E (Women in Literature) course. A poll of English 108E in Fall 2015indicated that students would very much like this broader course.

Effective 01-JAN-2018Title Change: Women's WritingDescription Change: This course explores a range of women's writing and the social and cultural

contexts in which they made their voices heard.Rationale : To change title and description. "Major literary movements" is omitted

since women often wrote from outside these movements. "Since 1900" isomitted since the course no longer directly follows up on ENGL 108E (was[Women in Literature] changing at this meeting to [Gender andRepresentation]) and thus needs the scope to range over examples fromdifferent time periods.

TO: Mike Grivicic, Assistant University Secretary,

Secretariat & Office of General Counsel FROM: Peter Douglas, Associate Dean, U/G Studies, Faculty of Engineering SUBJECT: Items for Approval at April 11, 2017 Senate Undergraduate Council

The following items were approved by the Faculty of Engineering Undergraduate Studies Committee by mail ballot on February 24, 2017 and by Engineering Faculty Council on March 21, 2017. I am seeking approval for these items at Senate Undergraduate Council on April 11, 2017.

Attachment #1 contains the modified portion of the following calendar descriptions: BASc and BSE Specific Degree Requirements Mechanical Engineering (Item I).

Attachment #2 contains the Catalog Report – Mtng #50 (Item I).

NOTE: ITEMS WHICH DO NOT REQUIRE SENATE U/G COUNCIL APPROVAL ARE SHOWN AS SMALL CAPS IN ITALICS, WITH

WAVE UNDERLINE. THESE ITEMS RECEIVE FINAL APPROVAL AT ENGINEERING FACULTY COUNCIL AND ARE FORWARDED TO

SENATE U/G COUNCIL FOR INFORMATION AND IMPLEMENTATION.

Items for Approval: I) Mechanical Engineering

Background and Motivation

The following items are proposed:

a) Addition of a technical elective (TE)

A new course, ME562, Experimental Methods in Fluids, is proposed. This course has been offered under the MME

special topics label (ME595) for two years and now a need has been identified to offer an elective in this area to

complement the current selection of technical electives. Specifically, this will offer a complementary counterpart to a popular technical elective in computational fluid dynamics (ME 566: CFD for Engineering Design).

b) Housekeeping revisions:

A correction to the prerequisite for ME202, Statistics for Engineering, is required. MATH117 is listed as a prerequisite for this course, but is not taken by MME students. MATH116 should be the listed prerequisite.

Elective Courses - Complementary and Technical

Complementary Studies Electives Students entering the program will take MSCI 261 - Engineering Economics (a List B CSE course) plus four Complementary Studies Elective courses in other non-technical subjects. The marks obtained in these courses will be included in the calculation of term averages. These courses are organized on a faculty basis and described elsewhere in this Calendar under the section Complementary Studies Requirements for Engineering Students.

Credit for an additional complementary studies elective is earned by obtaining satisfactory evaluations for the required work-term reports. These reports are based on work term experience and are intended to develop skill in technical report writing; further information on work-term reports can be found in the section on Examinations

and Promotions. Technical Electives

Seven technical elective courses are required in addition to the core courses listed above to fulfill the requirements of the Mechanical Engineering program.

Each term, certain faculty members ("Class Professors") are selected by each class to provide information and advice to students. A student who has an unusual career goal in mind should discuss choices with one of the designated faculty members, since it is possible to combine courses from different theme areas or specialization, to take courses from other departments and in some circumstances to take graduate-level courses. Students who are contemplating graduate study are particularly urged to discuss their study plans with a faculty member.

As a guide, typical lists of technical elective courses for the five theme areas and the Welding and Joining Specialization within the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering are given below. Students may take any desired combination of technical electives or they may choose to take a majority of their technical electives from one of the theme areas or specialization. Note that undergraduate students who complete the basic courses in each theme area or specialization will be permitted and encouraged to take relevant Mechanical Engineering graduate courses in that area.

To: Senate Undergraduate Council From: Brendon Larson, Associate Dean Undergraduate Studies, Faculty of Environment Date: April 11, 2017 Re: New: Diploma in Operations Management of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems – Pilot License

Proposed calendar text

Diploma in Operations Management of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems* - Pilot Licence

Legend:

*Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) is the terminology used by the International Civil

Aviation Authority (ICAO) and refers to unmanned aerial vehicles, systems or drones.

Overview:

This Diploma develops competencies in operation of and data analysis from RPAS, also known

as Drones, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Operations

Management of RPAS are in high-demand, domestically and internationally, in areas such as the

following:

Research

Environmental monitoring

Inventories of resources

Disaster assessment

RPAS provide a platform for the acquisition of very-high resolution vertical and oblique airborne

imagery, including multi-spectral data. RPAS complements satellite data and traditional piloted

aerial surveys by providing low altitude, very-high resolution, and on-demand data. This

diploma provides an RPAS operator with remote sensing data collection and analysis skills.

Requirements:

The Diploma in Operations Management of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems is open to all

University of Waterloo students. Interested candidates external to the University of Waterloo

may apply to this program as either a post-degree or non-degree student.

The requirements for successful completion of this diploma are six courses (3.5 units) and two

professional pilot benchmarks (1.25 units) with a minimum overall cumulative average of 65%.

Students achieving an overall average of 80% in the six required university courses will be

awarded a Diploma with Distinction.

1. Average Requirements Students in this diploma must maintain an overall cumulative average of at least 65% in the six University of Waterloo courses.

AVIA 101 and 102 are Professional Pilot Program Courses and are not used in average calculations. Grading for these courses will appear as CR (Credit Granted) or NCR (No Credit Granted, Failure Recorded). All required courses must be passed.

2. Academic Status

Students must achieve the flight component benchmarks set by Waterloo Wellington Flight Centre (WWFC) for AVIA 101 and 102.

3. Aviation Costs

All costs associated with the Professional Pilot Program Courses AVIA 101 and AVIA 102 are paid directly to the Waterloo-Wellington Flight Centre (WWFC).

4. Transport Canada Medical

If a student has not previously completed a Private Pilot Licence (PPL), they must have a Transport Canada Category 3 Medical to enroll in AVIA 101 and 102 for the completion of a Private Pilot Licence.

5. Transfer Credit - Flight Training

Transfer consideration of previous flight training or Professional Pilot Program Courses will be at the discretion of the Waterloo-Wellington Flight Centre and not determined by the University of Waterloo. Students can be granted advanced credits up to and

including a Private Pilot Licence. If the Diploma is not completed, transfer credits will be removed from the student’s transcript.

AVIA 101 and 102 are Professional Pilot Program Courses and can only be used towards one of the Aviation plans or this Diploma at the University of Waterloo.

6. Transfer Credit – Academic

Normally all courses required for the Diploma would be taken from the University of Waterloo. Transfer credits determined equivalent to GEOG 181, 187, GEOG 271 and GEOG 371 may be considered upon admission. Students receiving transfer credits towards the diploma are not eligible for the with distinction designation.

___________________________________________________________________

Motion: Approve the proposed diploma as presented.

Rationale: The Diploma in Operations Management of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS)

- Pilot Licence would be the first of its kind in Canada combining flight training with advanced

Remote Sensing skills. Opportunities exist globally for applications of RPAS. These applications

include archaeology, building envelope inspections, disaster assessments, energy transmission-

line inspection, resource exploration, mapping, environmental management, marine studies

and transportation. Remote Sensing courses provide substantive knowledge and skills related

to data collection, analysis and presentation. The Diploma would be open to students at the

University of Waterloo and would incorporate flight training in fixed wing aircraft (Private Pilot

Licence) and RPAS flight training in both simulator and flight. The proliferation of sales and use

of remotely piloted aircraft systems has fostered innovative applications, novel remote-sensing

techniques and data analysis, and simultaneously created concerns for air-traffic management

and privacy. Transport Canada regulates the use of RPAS (Drones, UAV and UAS), to keep the

public and other airspace users safe, whether its use is recreational, commercial or research.

The RPAS Diploma is open to all University of Waterloo students and external students with a

previous university degree or college diploma who are admissible as non-degree students.

This is a joint submission from both Faculty of Science and Faculty of Environment.

To: Senate Undergraduate Council From: Brendon Larson, Associate Dean Undergraduate Studies, Faculty of Environment Date: April 11, 2017 Re: Revision A: Internal and External Transfer Credits Revision B: Transfer Credit Allowance

Calendar 17/18: http://ugradcalendar.uwaterloo.ca/page/ENV-Admission-Transfer-Credits-WLU-Courses-1 Revision A:

Internal and External Transfer Credits

Any course taken at the University of Waterloo for which credit is granted, but where the grade is not included in the student's cumulative averages, will be considered an internal transfer credit. Students are encouraged to meet with their undergraduate advisor(s) for further guidance on what constitutes an internal transfer credit.

Any course taken at an accredited post-secondary institution, except Wilfrid Laurier University (see information below), will be considered for external transfer credit and, if approved, may be counted towards degree requirements. External transfer credits can be acquired through studies completed prior to admission to the University of Waterloo, through a University of Waterloo approved International Exchange agreement, or through courses taken on Letter of Permission (see information below).

For courses to be considered for external transfer credit, a grade of 60% or better is normally required.

______________________________________________________________________ Motion: Approve revision as presented. Rationale: Add the word normally as courses taken while on an exchange only require a pass to be transferred. This change reflects current practices. Effective: September 2018 ______________________________________________________________________

Environment, Resources and Sustainability Accelerated Master’s Program

For Information:

SERS is implementing an Accelerated Master of Environmental Studies plan for excellent

students in the SERS UG Plan beginning Fall 2017. This item is being presented for information

here (and at FC and SUC) because it does not affect undergraduate degree requirements so it

will seek approval at the graduate-level committees.

This accelerated plan will allow students to take one or two master’s level courses in their final

year of study to apply toward their MES in the School of Environment, Resources and

Sustainability. Students must have excellent grades, and room in their schedule to

accommodate the addition of master’s level courses in their fourth year of study in the UG Plan.

There are four options within the School’s MES Accelerated plan as follows:

1) MES thesis 2) MES thesis- water option 3) MRP Master’s research paper 4) MRP Master’s research paper- water option

All options will result in achieving a Master of Environmental Studies (MES) in the School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability. A very small number of students (one or two per year) are anticipated for admission to the Accelerated Master’s Program in SERS. The UG Calendar entry we propose to be added to the SERS section is shown here, and mirrors a similar option in the Faculty of Math: Accelerated Master’s

Undergraduate students in the Bachelor of Environmental Studies in the School of

Environment, Resources and Sustainability can, under some circumstances, take graduate

courses in their fourth year that will count towards a Master of Environmental Studies

degree(s). Such students must have high marks and enough room in their schedule to take such

courses without counting them toward the undergraduate degree.

Students interested in this opportunity should contact the Coordinator of Graduate Studies

for Environment, Resources and Sustainability, or consult the Graduate Calendar.

iii. Science and Aviation- Diplomas and Options The following Diplomas are available to all University of Waterloo students, and to interested candidates external to University of Waterloo, through post-degree or non-degree studies:

• Diploma in Operations Management of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) - Pilot Licence

• Diploma in Operations Management of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS)



RPAS Diplomas The International Civil Aviation Authority (ICAO) refer to unmanned aerial vehicles, systems or drones as Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS). This Diploma develops competencies in operation of and data analysis from RPAS, also known as Drones, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Operations Management of RPAS are in high-demand, domestically and internationally, for:

• Research • Environmental monitoring • Inventories of resources • Disaster assessment, etc.

RPAS provide a platform for the acquisition of very-high resolution vertical and oblique airborne imagery, including multi-spectral data. RPAS complements satellite data and traditional piloted aerial surveys by providing low altitude, very-high resolution, and on-demand data. This diploma provides an RPAS operator with remote sensing data collection and analysis skills. Diploma in Operations Management of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) - Pilot Licence Successful completion of this diploma requires the following:

1. 4.75 units distributed as follows: a. 3.5 University of Waterloo Program units that include:

i. 1.0 AVIA unit: AVIA 100 and AVIA 270 ii. 2.0 GEOG units: GEOG 271, GEOG 371, and GEOG 471

iii. 0.5 GEOG unit chosen from: GEOG 181 or GEOG 187 b. 1.25 WWFC Professional Pilot units: AVIA 101(0.75 unit) and AVIA 102

2. A minimum overall cumulative average of 65% in all University of Waterloo courses

3. Credit in two Professional Pilot courses Notes:

1. Students achieving an overall average of 80% in the six required university courses will be awarded a Diploma with Distinction.

2. All required courses must be passed. 3. Students must achieve the flight component benchmarks set by Waterloo

Wellington Flight Centre (WWFC) for each professional pilot course. 4. All costs associated with the Professional Pilot Program Courses are paid directly

to WWFC.



5. Students who have not previously completed a Private Pilot Licence (PPL), must have a Transport Canada Category 3 Medical to enroll in AVIA 101 and 102 for the completion of a Private Pilot Licence.

Transfer Credits Transfer consideration of previous flight training or Professional Pilot Program Courses will be at the discretion of WWFC and not determined by the University of Waterloo. Students can be granted advanced credits up to and including a Private Pilot Licence. If the Diploma is not completed, transfer credits will be removed from the student’s transcript. Professional Pilot Program courses, AVIA 101 and AVIA 102 can only be used towards one of the Science and Aviation programs or the RPAS-Pilot Licence Diploma at the University of Waterloo. Transfer credits determined equivalent to GEOG 181, GEOG187, GEOG 271 and GEOG 371 may be considered upon admission. Students receiving transfer credits towards the diploma are not eligible for the with distinction designation. Diploma in Operations Management of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) Successful completion of this diploma requires the following:

1. 3.5 Program units that include: a. 1.0 AVIA unit: AVIA 100 and AVIA 270 b. 2.0 GEOG units: GEOG 271, GEOG 371, and GEOG 471 c. 0.5 GEOG unit chosen from: GEOG 181 or GEOG 187

2. A minimum overall cumulative average of 65%.

Notes: 1. Students achieving an overall average of 80% in the six required university

courses will be awarded a Diploma with Distinction. 2. All required courses must be passed.

Transfer credits Transfer credits determined equivalent to GEOG 181, GEOG 187, GEOG 271 and GEOG 371 may be considered upon admission. Students receiving transfer credits towards the diploma are not eligible for the with distinction designation.



Rationale: The Diploma in Operations Management of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) – with and without Pilot Licence would be the first of its kind in Canada combining flight training with advanced Remote Sensing skills. Opportunities exist globally for applications of RPAS. These applications include archaeology, building envelope inspections, disaster assessments, energy transmission-line inspection, resource exploration, mapping, environmental management, marine studies and transportation. The proliferation of sales and use of remotely piloted aircraft systems has fostered innovative applications, novel remote-sensing techniques and data analysis, and simultaneously created concerns for air-traffic management and privacy. Transport Canada regulates the use of RPAS (Drones, UAV and UAS), to keep the public and other airspace users safe, whether its use is recreational, commercial or research. Remote Sensing courses in these Diplomas, provide substantive knowledge and skills related to data collection, analysis and presentation. The RPAS-Pilot Licence Diploma would incorporate flight training, in fixed wing aircraft (Private Pilot Licence) and RPAS flight training in both simulator and flight. The diploma was selected for the RPAS credential to allow both internal and external students to take this credential, even completing the Diploma after graduation. A new calendar landing page for Diplomas and Options in Science and Aviation was created for better visibility of these programs to students.

B. CHANGES TO PROGRAMS/PLANS

i. Pharmacy- Introduction to the School of Pharmacy The School of Pharmacy at the University of Waterloo offers a second-entry four-year professional program leading to an entry-to-practice Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree, with the Co-operative Program designation. The School also provides graduate academic opportunities for students interested in obtaining a Master of Science degree or a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Pharmacy. The School anchors the University's Health Sciences Campus in downtown Kitchener.



Graduates of the entry-to-practice PharmD program will be well-prepared for all aspects of the expanding scope of practice for pharmacists in Canada and capable of practicing in a broad range of settings, including: community pharmacy; hospital pharmacy; long-term care; and primary care entities like family health teams. The curriculum emphasizes breadth and flexibility, providing students the opportunity to pursue areas of specific interest through the selection of elective courses and co-op work experiences in settings that range from traditional areas of pharmacy practice to professional organizations, government, pharmaceutical industry, and academic research. A key component of the program is a focus on inter-professional education, where students learn to work as highly-functioning members of professional health care teams, which may include practitioners from medicine, optometry, social work, nursing, and a variety of health care fields. Pharmacy is a regulated health-care profession. The requirements to become a licensed registered pharmacist in Canada typically include:

• Completion of an undergraduate degree in Pharmacy • Completion of the national board examination offered by the Pharmacy

Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) • Practical experience gained through either the experiential curriculum of the

degree program or an apprenticeship/internship program following graduation; and

• Fluency in English or French.

Each province in Canada has its own regulatory agency, responsible for granting licenses registration certificates, and ensuring competency. The Doctor of Pharmacy program of the School of Pharmacy at the University of Waterloo has been awarded the status of Full Accreditation by the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs for the six-year term 2015-2021. Rationale: Revisions to the Introduction section clarify that Waterloo PharmD graduates receive a Co-op designation on their diploma, acknowledge that the experiential portion of the curriculum replaces the internship requirement in some jurisdictions (like Ontario), and more accurately refers to “registration” rather than “licensing” which is consistent with the terminology used in most provinces.



ii. Pharmacy- Admission Requirements Applicants will be selected on a competitive basis. Composite qualifications including credentials, academic and, non-academic factors will be considered. Assessment of academic performance will include review of required courses and consideration of the overall cumulative average obtained at the university post-secondary level. A Pharmacy Admission Information Form, CASPer test score, and letter of reference form will be used to assess non-academic qualifications in the initial screening of applications. Applicants reaching the second stage of the admissions process will participate in an interview and Fundamental Skills Assessment. An interview will be conducted as part of the admissions process and a letter of reference from a Pharmacist will be requested of all applicants. The Admissions Committee will seek applicants who not only demonstrate both strong academic potential and, but also exhibit qualities and skills judged to be the most valuable for an effective career in pharmacy. Academic Criteria Consideration for admission to the first year of the undergraduate program will be given to candidates who:

• have successfully completed a minimum of two years of university study in an undergraduate science program

• have obtained a cumulative overall university post-secondary average of at least 75% or equivalent

Applicants Presenting More Than Two Years of University Post-Secondary Applicants who have completed more than two years of university-level study post-secondary education in any program, including those who have completed one or more degrees, are advised that they must meet the requirements of, and will be considered for, admission to year one of the program. Upon admission, such students may request exemption via transfer credits from one or more courses in the program. If one or more exemptions are granted, students may enrich their educational experience from an array of electives, or potentially reduce their course load for a particular term; however, full-time status must be maintained. Please see the section below entitled Admission to a Reduced Course Load for further details. Admission to a Reduced Course Load Normally, students are required to take all courses for each respective term of the Pharmacy program during a specific academic year. However, students who have extenuating circumstances may request permission to undertake a reduced course load (for one or more terms or years). Only students who have a clearly identified need may be considered for a reduced course load. Academic weakness or a preference for a lighter course load will not be considered valid reasons. Students requesting a reduced course load need to be mindful of a limitation that the maximum duration allowed for a student to complete the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) program is six years from the initial registration.

Special (Non-Degree) Students Students may be admitted to various individual School of Pharmacy courses as special (non-degree) students provided places are available, the course pre-requisites have been met, and the permission of the instructor is obtained. Priority for all courses will be given to degree students of the School of Pharmacy. Rationale: Language in the Admission Requirements page is being adjusted to better reflect the admissions process and to add consistency. For the academic requirements section, changes are being proposed because of the enrollment difficulties students and departments face when students outside of Chemistry or Biochemistry programs try to enroll in the advanced Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry courses that are currently being promoted through the calendar as meeting Pharmacy admission requirements. The proposed solution is to remove the courses from the calendar so that students are less likely to try to enroll in them. These courses will continue to be acceptable through the equivalency guide.

iii. Pharmacy- Degree Requirements ……Pharmacy Program and Co-op Pharmacy students must complete three co-op work terms. During each work term, students must complete one PDPHRM-labelled course. In their first academic year, students are required to register as a pharmacy student with the Ontario College of Pharmacists (OCP). The OCP is the body that is responsible for issuing certificates of registration for students, interns and pharmacists as well as regulating the Ppharmacy profession in Ontario. The School of Pharmacy will be aligned with the College's studentship requirements. At the start of their work terms in Ontario, students must register the position with OCP by submitting a completed Notice of Pharmacy Work Placement - Non-Credit Position form. Only students registered with the OCP are allowed to perform the controlled acts of a pharmacist under the direct supervision of a pharmacist. [NOTE: In September 2016 the OCP Council approved a plan to recommend changes to the regulations in Ontario that would eliminate the “Student” registration category. If the Ontario government approves the proposed regulatory changes then pharmacy students would no longer be required to register with OCP while in the degree program. The College is also proposing to require registrants to complete a police background check as part of the registration process post-graduation, so prospective applicants should be aware of this potential requirement.] General co-op requirements are described in the Co-operative Education and Career Action section of the Calendar. The School of Pharmacy has specific Co-op work term requirements.

https://uwaterloo.ca/pharmacy/co-operative-education-patient-care-rotations-and-community-0/co-operative-education/student-co-op-requirements#WorkTermRequirements


Added Non-Academic Requirements In addition to the academic requirements listed above, there are a number of non-academic requirements that must be completed prior to proceeding to the first co-op term (e.g., immunization, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and First Aid). These requirements are mandated by the OCP and/or many co-op employers and clinical placement sites. Students are held individually accountable for submission of required documentation, and should review the current requirements. Rationale: Calendar changes are being proposed to align with the OCP changes that have been approved by OCP Council and that could take effect during the 2018-2019 academic year if approved by the provincial government.

iv. Pharmacy- Information for Graduates A degree in pharmacy does not in itself confer the right to practice pharmacy. To acquire this right, university graduates in pharmacy must be registered in accordance with the requirements of the province in which they wish to practice. Application for Readmission to the Doctor of Pharmacy Bridging Program A graduate of the University of Waterloo Honours Co-operative Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy (BScPhm) program may apply for readmission to the Doctor of Pharmacy bridging program academic plan. Students interested in this opportunity must commence the bridging program within three years of their date of graduation from the BScPhm program, or by September 2017, whichever is latest. Deadlines for applying for readmission are July 1, November 1, and March 1 for fall, winter, and spring terms, respectively. For details, students should consult the Director of Admissions, Professional Relations and Undergraduate Affairs, School of Pharmacy. Rationale: The last entry term for the Doctor of Pharmacy Bridging Program is Fall 2017, making this calendar language irrelevant.

L., Yarin, F. Foss, Springer, 2007 White F. M., Fluid Mechanics, 7th Ed., McGraw-Hill, 2011 (ME 351, 362) Location and Time: CPH 3679, 2:30 – 4:20 p.m. Wednesday; 9:30-10:20 a.m. Thursday. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Prerequisites: this course will rely on fundamental topics in theoretical and applied fluid mechanics covered in ME 351: Fluid Mechanics 1 and ME 362 Fluid Mechanics 2. Thus, the competence with the prerequisite material will be essential. In addition, the course relies on solid background in basic science and core engineering subjects, including (i) calculus, (ii) physics, (iii) continuum mechanics, (iv) thermodynamics, and (v) basic engineering design. Since we will not be able to allocate time to review all of these concepts in this course, please be sure to review the relevant topics. Course Goals and Objectives: The overall goal for this course is to enable students to analyze basic fluid mechanics problems through experimental analysis. By the end of the course, the students will be expected to perform the following tasks:

1) Identify an appropriate experimental assessment that needs to be conducted for a given problem. 2) Effectively plan an experiment

• identify flow parameters that need to be measured • select appropriate facilities, tools, and methods • compose an efficient test matrix

3) Perform basic flow field measurements 4) Interpret experimental results and examine their limitations based on error analysis.

Course Contents: Experimental Planning

• Planning experiments • Fluid mechanics fundamentals • Experimental modelling • Basic measurement systems • Measurement error • Experimental uncertainty

Experimental Facilities • Field measurements • Laboratory facilities

Experimental Techniques • Flow visualization • Pressure measurements • Velocity measurements • Flow rate measurements • Temperature measurements • Force measurements • Associated experimental uncertainty

Measurements and Data Acquisition • Test planning • Calibration • Validation • Data aquisition

Data Analysis • Basic statistics • Frequency analysis • Examination of data • Experimental uncertainty (revisited)

Overall course organization: The course will rely on a combination of lectures and hands-on project activities. The main philosophy is that in order to develop proficiency with a given engineering tool or analysis method one needs to know the fundamental physical principles and get an opportunity to apply them.

Lectures: The course lectures will cover the main course topics and introduce concepts required for the successful planning and completion of practical project-based exercises. It is expected that students will prepare for lectures by reviewing previously covered material and performing suggested reading and take-home assignments.

Projects: The main concepts covered in course lectures will be reinforced in a series of three interrelated projects. The projects will be performed in small groups of students (~4 students per group) and will involve experiments in a dedicated wind tunnel facility. The students will plan their experiments, select and apply different experimental tools, and analyze their experimental data to estimate the desired performance parameters of a given engineering system. The project activities are divided in three stages so as to allow students to plan their activities through the term and to facilitate incremental feedback on the progress. For each of the three projects, a brief report will be required from each group. For the final

- 3 -

project, each group will also present their results to the class. Detailed guidelines for the projects will be provided in additional handouts.

Outside of class help: Students are encouraged to discuss any questions they may have related to the course material with the course staff. To facilitate a prompt response to questions, the instructor will follow an open-door policy, and office hours for the teaching assistant will be arranged in consultation with the class. Also, students are encouraged to discuss non-academic issues that may negatively impact their academic performance in a timely manner with the instructor and/or the undergraduate chair of the department.

Grading: The approximate grade breakdown will be as follows: Project 1 10% Project 2 15% Project 3 (report and presentation) 30% Final Exam (~2 hrs, closed book) 45%

Note that the final exam is included for the sole purpose of assessing individual proficiency with the topics covered in group-based projects. One double-sided sheet of hand-written notes (8.5" by 11") and a non-programmable, non-graphing calculator will be allowed for the exam.

Related Academic Policies and Notes: Academic Integrity: In order to maintain a culture of academic integrity, members of the University of Waterloo community are expected to promote honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility (more info). Grievance: A student who believes that a decision affecting some aspect of his/her university life has been unfair or unreasonable may have grounds for initiating a grievance. Read Policy 70, Student Petitions and Grievances, Section 4. When in doubt please be certain to contact the department’s administrative assistant who will provide further assistance. Discipline: A student is expected to know what constitutes academic integrity to avoid committing an academic offence and to take responsibility for his/her actions. A student who is unsure whether an action constitutes an offence, or who needs help in learning how to avoid offences (e.g., plagiarism, cheating) or about “rules” for group work/collaboration should seek guidance from the course instructor, academic advisor, or the undergraduate Associate Dean. For information on categories of offences and types of penalties, students should refer to Policy 71, Student Discipline. For typical penalties check Guidelines for the Assessment of Penalties. Appeals: A decision made or penalty imposed under Policy 70, Student Petitions and Grievances, (other than a petition) or Policy 71, Student Discipline, may be appealed if there is a ground. A student who believes he/she has a ground for an appeal should refer to Policy 72, Student Appeals. Students with Disabilities: The Office for Persons with Disabilities (OPD), located in Needles Hall, Room 1132, collaborates with all academic departments to arrange appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities without compromising the academic integrity of the curriculum. If you require academic accommodations to lessen the impact of your disability, please register with the OPD at the beginning of each academic term.
