11.7 Complementary Studies and Interdisciplinary
In accordance with Senate's Policy Regarding Inactive Courses, the course descriptions for courses which have not been offered in the previous three academic years and which are not scheduled to be offered in the current academic year have been removed from the following listing. For information about any of these inactive courses, please contact the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Studies) of the Faculty.
Engineering Complementary Studies and Interdisciplinary Courses are designated by ENGI.
ENGI 3101 Engineering Professionalism I
examines issues associated with professional engineering practice and with functioning effectively in the workplace. Topics include communication, workplace and professional ethics, information literacy, equity, gender, diversity, and occupational health and safety (including first-aid). This is a writing-intensive course with a critically-reflective component. Current accreditation graduate attributes are introduced for further development throughout the program.
ENGI 3424 Engineering Mathematics
includes ordinary differential equations of first order and first degree; linear ordinary differential equations of higher order, methods of undetermined coefficients and variation of parameters; applications to electric circuits and mass-spring systems; Laplace transforms; partial differentiation; convergence of series; Taylor and binomial series; remainder term; and an introduction to Fourier series.
ENGI 4102 Engineering Economics
is an introduction to the concepts in the determination of the economic feasibility of engineering projects; time value of money – interest rates, depreciation, annual, present and future worth analysis; benefit-cost analysis, tangible and intangible benefits and costs; economic risk and sensitivity analysis, economic optimization.
ENGI 4421 Probability and Statistics
includes probability, probability distributions, probability densities, sampling distribution, hypothesis testing, regression and correlation.
ENGI 4430 Advanced Calculus for Engineering
iincludes parametric vector functions; polar curves; gradient, divergence and curl; multiple integration; vector calculus, theorems of Green, Stokes and Gauss; an introduction to partial differential equations; and application of advanced calculus to relevant engineering problems.
ENGI 8102-8149 Special Topics in Engineering
will have topics to be studied announced by the Faculty.
ENGI 8150 Engineering Entrepreneurship
(same as the former ENGI 8607) is an introduction to the concepts, issues, and themes related to business planning, strategy, and entrepreneurship, with an overview of the functional activities in a typical business venture. Business analysis and planning skills are developed. The course explores the business planning and strategic management issues of technology-driven enterprises in the early stages of development and focuses on the engineer as an entrepreneur.
ENGI 8151 Technology, Sustainable Society and International Development
(same as the former ENGI 8977) examines multidisciplinary planning on technical international development projects through the conceptual frameworks of international development and project implementation theory. Emphasis is placed on analysis of the complex relationships between society, culture, economic, environmental and political factors, and technology to achieve sustainable international development objectives.
ENGI 8152 Engineering Professionalism II
(same as the former ENGI 7102) examines the demands upon the 21st Century engineer. Topics include the roles and responsibilities of the professional engineer in society, the Engineering Code of Ethics, sustainable development, environmental stewardship, the place of technology in society and the nature of technological decisions. Students will reflect on their entire course of studies, in the context of current accreditation graduate attributes. This is a writing-intensive course with a critically-reflective component.
ENGI 8154 Critical Thinking about Technology, Science and Engineering
(same as the former ENGI 8104) is an introduction to the study of “science, technology and society” (STS) in the context of engineering. We examine how society, politics, culture and values affect scientific research, technological innovation, and the practice of engineering. Topics may include transhumanism, geoengineering, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies. Issues will be examined through various lenses such as technological progressivism, feminist theories, and actor network theory. This is a research and writing-intensive course, with an emphasis on critical reflection.
ENGI 8155 Ethics in a Technological World
(same as the former ENGI 8105) examines ethical issues and dilemmas that arise primarily in engineering work, but also in relationship to broader technological systems. Through case study analyses and facilitated discussion, various decision-making processes will be explored to address moral and ethical issues spanning from common workplace dilemmas, to whistleblowing, to major engineering disasters. This is a research and writing-intensive course, with an emphasis on critical reflection.
ENGI 8156 Engineering from Indigenous Perspectives
explores the history of Indigenous Peoples in Newfoundland and Labrador, including the Innu, Inuit, and Mi’kmaq, and the past and current relationships with engineering practices in the province. Investigating engineering challenges that arise in Northern and remote communities within the province is a key focal point.
ENGI 8157 Climate Change and Infrastructure Design
explores the impacts of climate change and engineering design, through the examination of an in-depth case study of infrastructure failure and the subsequent reconstruction to address climate change impacts. Students will learn about the responsibilities of engineering professionals as they participate in community-based planning and propose their own solutions to an infrastructure design challenge. This course is offered partially online and includes an in-person community-based experience with service-learning components.
