CIVE 121 Digital Computation














ENVE 127 Statics and Solid Mechanics











GENE 123 Electrical Engineering





GEOE 153 Earth Engineering



















MATH 118 Calculus 2 (for Engineering Students)













WKRPT 100 Work-term Report




















Introduction to electronic digital computers, hardware and software organization, examples of efficient numerical algorithms for basic scientific computations. Programming and problem solving concepts introduced in the course will be incorporated into group projects involving Civil, Environmental, or Geological Engineering applications. The language of instruction will be Visual Basic and Visual Basic for Applications.

Review of statics of particles and rigid bodies. Concepts of force systems. Moment of inertia. Friction. Method of virtual work. Introduction to mechanical response of materials and stress-strain temperature relationships. Behaviour of prismatic members in tension, compression, shear, bending and torsion. Shear force and bending moment diagrams. Work and energy methods.

Introduction to electric and magnetic fields; basic dc circuits; amplifiers and operational amplifiers; ac circuit components; basic ac circuits; power circuits.

This course studies earth materials and processes from an engineering point of view through case histories and problem sets. The course develops a geological knowledge for applications to any physical environment and provides an appreciation of the impact of engineering work on the environment. Topics include: mineral and rock identification, the rock cycle, structural geology and tectonics, geology of Canada, effects of water, ice and wind. Students are also introduced to the concept of geologic time, topographic and geologic maps, and the basic principles and tools used to determine geologic history.

Methods of integration: by parts, trigonometric substitutions, partial fractions; engineering applications, approximation of integrals, improper integrals. Linear and separable first order differential equations, applications. Parametric curves and polar coordinates, arc length and area. Infinite sequences and series, convergence tests, power series and applications. Taylor polynomials and series, Taylor's Remainder Theorem, applications.

A work-term report presenting in detail a technical project, activity, or analysis engaged by the student normally during the preceding work term. The report is evaluated on the basis of written communication skills and technical proficiency in the subject matter as demonstrated by the report. Work-term reports are required courses for the degree but their grades are not included in the average. However, failed work-term report evaluations contribute to the accumulated failed course count as indicated in the Examinations and Promotions section of this calendar. Details regarding the evaluation of the work-term reports can be obtained from the student's program advisor.
