Undergraduate Course Descriptions
Students will meet with a faculty member designated as their class professor. Performance in assignments and conceptual difficulties with other courses will be discussed, along with interrelation of present coursework, later work and engineering practice.
1 hour per week, both terms.
Given by the Department of Co-ordination in Fall and Winter terms for students in first year Engineering. Its purpose is to introduce the students to the various features of the Co-operative Programme.
1 hour per week.
The major conceptual transformations in evolution of science and technology; Greek, modern classical, contemporary periods. Scientific technology as a determining characteristic of global civilization and some critical questions it poses.
3 hours per week. (not open to Year 1 students)
The processes involved in man-man, man-machine and mass communications will be discussed. Models of communication systems. The contributions and points of view of the various disciplines which make up the spectrum of communication studies today.
3 hours per week, lectures and seminars. (not open to Year 1 students.)
Not being offered in 1976-77.
The course is intended to introduce engineering, mathematics and science undergraduates to some of the sciences of man (anthropology, sociology and psychology). The course will be conducted on the basis of both lecture and tutorial hours.
