Welcome to Nursing 4040. This course is designed to enhance your understanding of the relationship between theory, reasoning, and research in the discipline of nursing. Throughout the course, it is hoped that you will gain appreciation for the value and significance of theories for both nursing practice and interprofessional collaboration. We will explore what theory is, how it supports nurses and their practice, and how they can use it to answer clinical questions and care for patients more effectively. At the end of this course, you will be able to articulate what is unique about nursing as a discipline, and how we apply our theory in practice every day, just as we do in all aspects of everyday life.

In this course students will be exposed to and examine the concepts underlying sustainable design engineering as they pertain to engineering practice and in particular engineering research and the development of new technologies. Sustainable design engineering can be defined as an engineering design process which considers not only the key performance indicators and functional characteristics of the system being developed but also the environmental, social and economic context and impacts of the system. Recent advances in sustainability research have focused on the complex interactions between these areas, evolving from "green engineering" to a full consideration of sustainability. In order to develop sustainable solutions, engineers and researchers must be able to critically evaluate their work in this context. To this end, students will examine case studies and relevant readings on such topics as sustainability indicators, techno-economic and life cycle assessment, stakeholder engagement, real time technology assessment, engineering justice, and design for sustainability. While approaches for addressing the specific areas of environmental, social and economic sustainability will be covered, the focus of the course will be on the interactions between these areas. A key outcome of this course will be a paper critically examining the student's research topic from the perspective of sustainable design engineering. Graduate-level project will be required as defined in consultation with the instructor. Cross-level listed with ENGN-4030; credit cannot be received for both courses. 06-09-2023-22-12-2023 Graduate Studies Days to be Announced, Times to be Announced, Room to be Announced

This course places modern psychotherapy (and assessment) within its social and historical context by examining the various and continually evolving relationships between the "healer" and the "sufferer." The course begins with a review of the history of "abnormal" behavior from ancient to modern times, followed by a discussion of the emergence of modern psychotherapy in the late 19th century. World War II witnessed the rise of Psychology as the recognized professional body for psychological assessment and treatment. Numerous approaches to psychotherapy were soon developed, including behavior therapy, humanistic psychology, Gestalt therapy, cognitive therapy, systems therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (among others). The course concludes with an analysis of the current conditions of clinical therapeutic practice in North America, and a return to the question of the sufferer's relationship to the healer. Throughout the course, emphasis is given to the various individual and cultural influences that have characterized the story of clinical psychology so far, and how this narrative is connected to the larger social and historical conditions of Western societies.

This course helps students identify and evaluate various types of arguments couched in ordinary language. Different types of errors of reasoning are critically evaluated, such as argument from authority, begging the question, faulty causal correlation, appeal to emotions, inadequate sample, and deceptive use of statistics. The course aids the student in recognizing occurrences of these fallacies, and the conditions for logical error and weak argumentation in general. Emphasis is placed on the identification of weak arguments and the construction of strong arguments. Examples for critique and counter argument are derived mainly from the popular media. Lectures, discussion and group presentation. Three hours a week. 06-09-2023-22-12-2023 Lecture Monday, Wednesday, Friday 08:30AM - 09:20AM, Performing Arts Ctr, Room 110AS
