This course provides an overview of the subdisciplines that are included in field of biomedical engineering. Through a hands-on approach, the course introduces topics including biotransport, bioelectrical phenomena, bioinstrumentation, biomechanics, diagnostic devices, medical imaging, rehabilitation, biomaterials, tissue engineering, biosensors, lab-on-a-chip and micro- and nano-technology. The course also introduces the basics of medical device regulations and ethics of medical instrumentation. Students will gain an appreciation for the collaborative, interdisciplinary nature of engineering in medicine and its potential impact on society. (Cross-level listed with SDE-8330). Graduate project will be defined). Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. 06-09-2023-22-12-2023 Lecture Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10:30AM - 11:20AM, Duffy Science Ctr, Room 423

This course is for students who want to explore a broad array of issues and 'big' questions that are related to human culture and the natural world from a local to a global perspective. This course emphasizes and cultivates critical inquiry, writing and reading skills through an analysis of texts/topics of contemporary significance. Note: Credit will only be granted for one (1) of the UPEI First Year Experience courses (UPEI-1010/ENG-1010, UPEI-1020 OR UPEI-1030). In exceptional circumstances, permission to receive credit for more than one of these courses may be permitted by the Dean. Three hours a week. 06-09-2023-20-12-2023 Lecture Monday, Wednesday 01:30 PM - 02:45 PM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 115

The main focus of the course is the application of financial concepts to realistic business situations through the use of business cases. The principal areas covered will be financial analysis, financial forecasting, valuation, leasing, mergers and acquisitions, and derivative securities. Three hours a week. 06-09-2023-20-12-2023 Lecture Wednesday 06:00PM - 08:50PM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 432

This course considers basic approaches to intervention with children and adolescents through the lens of developmental psychopathology and evidence-based practice. Students gain an understanding of the importance of selecting interventions that are appropriate to what we know about effectiveness for specific clinical problems, the developmental level of the client, and the wider ecology of risk and protective factors that characterize children's and adolescents' lives. Major approaches to psychotherapeutic intervention with children and adolescents are reviewed. Students gain experience in the development of basic clinical skills that can be applied within a variety of clinical interventions. Important ethical issues that often emerge in work with children and adolescents are discussed. The importance of cultural and individual diversities in key areas that are often targeted by interventions with children and adolescents are considered, e.g., parenting values, beliefs and practices or family hierarchies and communication patterns. Students also are encouraged to draw on the conceptual and empirical research base (or lack thereof) that informs our understanding of the impact of social and cultural factors on therapeutic effectiveness.

Growing environmental problems created by unsustainable use of fossil resources is forcing us to move from a synthetic-based economy to a bio-based one. This introductory course will provide the fundamental skills in developing environmental technologies to enable students to pursue career opportunities in a range of industries. Looking into different resources available within the biosphere, students will learn to apply engineering knowledge for its sustainable use. Concepts of a bio-refinery will be introduced for developing fundamental understanding of integrated conversion processes (thermal, chemical and biological). Understanding the concepts of enzymatic and cellular kinetics, students will learn to design bioreactors. This course will also review the fundamental concepts of life-cycle analysis and explore the application of it to selected environmental projects. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. 06-09-2023-22-12-2023 Lecture Monday, Wednesday, Friday 11:30AM - 12:20PM, Kelley Memorial Bldg, Room 211

This course introduces students to some of the basic skills required in planning and reporting scientific research. It includes electronic searching of the literature, planning and design of experiments, analysis of experimental data, assessment of experimental error, scientific proof, ethics in research, scientific publications, social media, and scientific presentations. Three lecture hours a week. 06-09-2023-22-12-2023 Lecture Monday, Wednesday, Friday 09:30AM - 10:20AM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 320

This course prepares students to study music as a product of cultural expression through an examination of how diverse socio-cultural, economic, and political forces shape the production, transmission, and reception of music. Through the exploration of diverse repertoire from a variety of music cultures and historical periods, students develop foundational skills in critical listening, research, and writing within the discipline. Note: A basic ability to read music is recommended.

This course concentrates on effective procedures for the statistical estimation and testing of key parameters in economic models. Remedies are developed for problems associated with model specification. Multicollinearity, serial correlation, heteroscedasticity, simultaneous equations, and forecasting. 06-09-2023-22-12-2023 Lecture Days to be Announced, Times to be Announced, Room to be Announced
