Design
The courses in design studio combine design fundamentals and design concepts, along with the opportunity to involve analysis and synthesis, professional and scientific insights, application of tools and methods for designing artifacts for man, and an awareness of the inherent physical characteristics and limitations of media and materials. The objectives of the studio are: (1) to guide the student in observing aspects of the physical and social environment; to find, categorize and associate the information into fundamental structures and patterns of relationships; (2) to apply theories generated in the lecture courses to situations in the physical environment, implementing by categorizing the courses into behaviour materials, structures and mechanical systems, behaviour of man, and communications.
Course Descriptions
Architecture
(3) to provide the student with an opportunity to develop skill in using different “techniques” for analyzing and synthesizing problems in the physical environment; (4) to establish a relationship between faculty and students; (5) to provide a vehicle for persons from faculties of different disciplines and from outside of the university to discuss with students their problems and projects from different points of view.

Management Studies
Courses are offered in five fundamental areas of management: money, people, materials, data and cqammunications. These courses are taught by experts in Management Sciences, English, Philosophy, Psychology, Economics, Computer Science and Mathematics.
As a university program, Management Studies must be taken in conjunction with an existing Honours Major. Students should be prepared to take a number of courses that presuppose a thorough understanding of basic mathematics.”
A Management Studies Major or Minor can reduce or eliminate the need for make-up courses in management often required for a business promotion. Furthermore, the skills and knowledge gained from the program allow the graduate to manage his personal life and professional career with purpose and efficiency. As such, a university degree with a Management Studies option will be attractive to employers.
*Although M120A, M124B, CS 180 and STAT 210 are recommended as a sufficient body of knowledge as corequisites and prerequisites, alternative sequences of courses in
* some Faculties may be substituted according to the following table. It should be noted that the alternative sequences are most applicable in the case of the Minor.

Integrated Studies D. Smith
It is the policy of the University of Waterloo that the study of women's issues as well as the history of women's accomplishments be incorporated into the regular course offerings of all faculties. In the courses listed below, the student interested in studying women in the context of a variety of disciplines will find appropriate material. A proportion of each course, which may vary according to the discipline and the instructor, focuses on the study of women. All courses are regular credit courses, counting like any other course toward the fulfiliment of requirements for majors and honours in their respective discipline.
The Arts Library has one of the largest special collections on women in Canada. it is being constantly expanded and contains considerable unique archival material.
The additional resources of nearby
Wilfrid Laurier University, which offers a
number of complementary Women's Studies courses, make the Waterloo area an excellent centre for the study of women.
Students who are interested in Women's Studies will find complete course descriptions in the appropriate departmental sections of this Calendar. They are urged to discuss the content of a particular course with the instructor or to contact the Co-ordinator of Women’s Studies for further information.
