NRSC 2100 – Forest Ecology and Silvics

Students develop an understanding and appreciation of the complexities and interactions that encompass forest ecosystem structures and functions, and learn how to apply this knowledge to predict forest ecosystem responses to natural and human-induced disturbances. Students assess how forest ecosystem structures and function interact, how they change over time, and how they affect forest management practices. This course provides hands-on practical experience for students.

NRSC 1220 – Dendrology II

Students explore a variety of British Columbian, North American, and introduced coniferous tree species.

BIOL 1210 - Principles of Bioloy II

Students will explore evolution as unifying principle of biology: how it occurs, and how it leads to increasing biological diversity through speciation. They will develop an understanding of how evolutionary opportunities and constraints are reflected in the history of life on Earth and will examine the evolutionary conundrum of sexual reproduction (or lack thereof) in both plants and animals. They will develop important skills useful for biologists such as working in teams, finding and disseminating information, conducting research projects by developing and testing hypotheses, and communicating research results effectively.

ENGR 1200 (lab) – Engineering Design II

Students apply the knowledge of the engineering design process by developing and completing relatively complex and self-directed engineering project that consists of electrical, mechanical, and software sub-systems. Students learn the incorporation of sustainability, regulatory, environmental, ethical, health, and safety-related issues relevant to the design of an engineering product. Students are exposed to several engineering tools to manage time and resources. Students learn theories related to teamwork and leadership. Students work in team, complete design project through several milestones, and generate technical reports and oral presentations. Students understand the role of an engineering profession towards society and ethical obligations.

ARET 1300 - Building Technology I

Students are introduced to basic platform framing, commonly used in residential buildings that are regulated under Part 9 (Housing and Small Buildings) of the British Columbia Building Code.

ENGL 2250 – Women’s Bodies/Women’s Roles

Students continue to develop close critical reading comprehension through an exploration of women’s writing from a variety of time periods, diverse sociocultural backgrounds, and genres. Students critically and creatively interpret and evaluate the work of women writers, applying concepts of body theory and feminist perspectives on social roles, as well as literary terminology, techniques, and rhetorical strategies. They also consider the complexities and multiplicities of female ways of knowing and being in the world, including such elements of difference as social class, ethnicity/culture, gender identity and sexual expression and how they affect our understanding of social and corporeal experiences and possibilities.

CHEM 1510 – Fundamentals of Chemistry

This is the second half of a fundamental first year chemistry course. The topics include a brief review of stoichiometry, gas laws, thermochemistry, equilibrium and electrochemistry. Students are expected to become familiar with these topics, and demonstrate their proficiency in various laboratory techniques.

CHEM 1520 – Principles of Chemistry

This course is the second half of first year chemistry designed for students with a strong background in Chemistry. The topics include gas laws, equilibrium, redox reactions, electrochemistry, thermochemistry, entropy and free energy.

BIOL 2340 – Introduction to Genetics

Students explore the connections between the genetic composition of an organism and the outward expression of characteristics. They gain an appreciation for genetics as an exciting and important field, which lets them delve deeper into topics such as genetic engineering, regulation of gene expression and other aspects of molecular biology and biotechnology. They examine classical Transmission Genetics, which encompasses the basic principles of heredity and how traits are passed from one generation to the next. They also develop a basic understanding of Population Genetics, which explores the genetic composition of groups of individuals of the same species and how that composition changes over time and space.
