This course introduces students to the ways in which music contributes to the cinematic experience. Through a series of case studies involving analysis of videos and accompanying musical scores, students explore the techniques of film music composition and develop the analytical skills necessary to consider music in a multi-media context. 05-09-2024-05-12-2024 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 01:00PM - 02:15PM, Steel Bldg, Room 218

This course introduces the principles of sustainability in engineering design as they relate to the interactions among humans, living systems, the natural environment and the engineered world. Physical, chemical, biological, ecological, social, economic and life-cycle concepts, and their relevance to sustainable engineering design, are emphasized. 3 hours of lecture and 3 hours of lab per week. 04-09-2024-04-12-2024 Lecture Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10:30AM - 11:20AM, Performing Arts Ctr, Room 110S

This course introduces students to the interdisciplinary field of systems engineering and a systems approach to analyzing complex problems. Specific subjects covered include: logistics,reliability, safety, performance,and risk management. Open-ended problems are used and students are expected to classify, categorize, and illustrate physical and functional relationships using schematic diagramming techniques. Modeling of performance is introduced, but is covered in greater depth in the systems dynamics course to follow. Systems considered in the course include human, ecological, transportation, communication, mechanical, electrical, and mechatronic. This course utilizes a problem-based experiential teaching method with a significant field component. Three hours lecture and three hours lab per week. 05-09-2024-05-12-2024 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 02:30PM - 03:45PM, Faculty Sustainable Design Eng, Room 128B

This course explores contemporary and historical research questions and issues central to the interdisciplinary and comparative study of small islands and archipelagos. Topics include islands' identity, characteristics, challenges, opportunities, cultures, geography, economics, history, environmental concerns, and governance systems. HOURS PER WEEK: 3 LECTURE: 2 SEMINAR: 1. 09-09-2024-02-12-2024 Graduate Studies Monday 06:00PM - 08:50PM, Robertson Library, Room 208

The objective of this course is to introduce to students the methods of time series and forecasting in practice and the stochastic model building in time series and their use with applications. Some of the key mathematical results are stated without detailed proof to make the underlying theory accessible to a wider audience. Students need to have knowledge of introductory calculus, matrix algebra, and basic statistics and regression analysis. The emphasis is on methods and analysis of data sets. The logic and tools of model-building for stationary and non-stationary time series are developed in detail and numerous exercises, many of which make use of the included computer package (R-programs), provide the students with ample opportunity to develop skills in this area. The core of the course covers stationary processes, ARMA and ARIMA processes, forecasting methods, multivariate time series, vector auto-regression (VAR models), and an introduction to non-stationary time series.
Three lecture hours per week. 05-09-2024-05-12-2024 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 11:30AM - 12:45PM, Robertson Library, Room 210

This is a course for students who seek a well-supported, strongly integrated adjustment to life and learning within the university environment. This course is designed to create a cohesive learning community for students, connecting them to each other and to their instructors in the classroom and beyond. The curriculum focuses on helping students to develop the attitudes, study strategies, and broad communication and research skills they will need to thrive throughout their post-secondary experience. 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. 04-09-2024-04-12-2024 Lecture Monday, Wednesday, Friday 08:30AM - 09:20AM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 116
