This course introduces fundamental notions and physical laws in classical mechanics
Topics include one- and two-dimensional motions; Newton’s three laws of motion;
work, kinetic energy, potential energy, work-energy theorem and energy
conservation; impulse, momentum, impulse-momentum theorem and momentum
conservation, collision; rotational motion, moment of inertial, torque, angular
momentum and conservation law of angular momentum; Newton’s law of universal
gravitation, Kepler’s three laws, planetary and satellite motion.
This course provides a strong background in classical mechanics. It is a necessary
prerequisite for students to taking advanced physics courses, and fundamental
background for other science majors such as applied mathematics, chemistry,
computer science, biology, geography, nursing, and science and technology.

The course is an introduction to the various applications of mathematical modeling,
statistical analysis, and optimization to decision making in business and industry.
Topics include linear and non-linear optimization, network optimization models,
scheduling problems, queuing models, Markov chains, simulation, stochastic models
and others, as chosen by the instructor. The course will include a software
component. Part of the course work includes completion of a project, which will be
presented to the class.
This course is part of the industrial mathematics stream of the propose B.Sc. in the
Science and Technology program. It will be an important addition to our group of
courses in applied mathematics. The mathematical topics covered in this course are
applicable to a variety of disciplines, including Biology and Business, and will
enhance our course offerings in Sciences.

This course is an introduction to the analysis of control systems and its hardware,
ranging from electrical, mechanical, and gas to liquid flow elements. The techniques
of control theory such as Bode diagrams and Nyquist plots, root-locus are discussed
as well as stability of the systems in the frequency domains and state-space. P, PI and
PID controllers are designed. The s- and z- transforms are introduced.
This course is a core course for Robotics stream of the proposed B.Sc. in Science and
Technology program. In addition, the course will be provide an elective to those
students majoring in Computer Science, Mathematics, Artificial Intelligence, Service
Systems Technology and Industrial Mathematics.

C) Statement of Need
The course is essential for the Robotics Stream in the proposed B.Sc. Science and
Technology program.
D) Statement of Resource Requirements
The course will be taught by an existing faculty member. There are sufficient resources in
the library for the course. The lab component of the course may require some
investment. Robotics and Physics courses will share laboratory space. The investment
for the Robotics lab will cover the needs of the lab component of this course as well.

This course is an introduction to the interactions between people and computers. It
will provide insight and experience into key issues of HCI design, and will sample
different HCI-related areas. In class, students will learn about and discuss issues and
tradeoffs in interaction design, and invent and evaluate alternative solutions to design
problems. Topics include usability and affordances, direct manipulation, systematic
design methods, user conceptual models and interface metaphors, design languages
and genres, human cognitive models, physical ergonomics, information and
interactivity structures, and design tools and environments.
The course is needed for Service Systems Computing stream and AI streams in the
proposed B.Sc .in Science and Technology program. It will also enhance our CS
offerings. We expect that students majoring in Computer Science and related
disciplines will find it attractive as an elective course.

This course is an introduction to the basic concepts and components of robotics. The
hardware of robot manipulators and mobile robots and the resulting theoretical
background will be discussed. The concept of environmental feedback and sensors
necessary for the robots, including intelligent ones, will also be discussed. Some
mobile robotics concepts will be introduced, including: path planning, localization,
obstruction avoidance and mapping, and SLAM problems. The elements of robotic
vision will also be introduced.
In addition to being an essential course for Robotics stream, the course will enhance
our Computer Science and Mathematics course offerings.

The course will be taught by an existing faculty member. It will be included in the
cycling of the Computer Science courses. The course will need a lab which it will share
with Physics courses. Although, we have some equipment for a Robotics lab, there will
be a need for some investment and funding for ongoing maintenance of the lab.

Motion: That ARCC recommend to the Arts & Science Executive the deletion of PHYS
1005 General Physics.
Rationale: PHYS 1005 , General Physics course is being replaced by PHYS 1006 and
PHYS 1007.
Motion: That ARCC recommend to the Arts and Science Executive the change of the
name of COSC 3007 from Artificial Intelligence and Robotics to Artificial Intelligence.
Rationale: COSC 3007 course has Artificial Intelligence focus with applications to
Robotics. With the creation of COSC 3009 Introduction to Robotics course, the changing
the name of COSC 3007 to Artificial Intelligence will reflect the course description as it
is given in the Academic Calendar.

Course Description:
3 credits
This is an introductory physics course. The topics covered include motion in one and
two dimensions, forms of energy, and linear momentum, electricity, and magnetism.
(as it will appear in the
academic calendar)
Program Implications:
Having this course will enhance our science offerings at Nipissing. Our first year
Physics course prerequisite is a grade 12 physics course. There are students who
come to Nipissing without a Grade 12 Physics course. Having such a course will
provide an opportunity for those students to take a course which provides a
prerequisite for our 1st year Physics course.

C) Statement of Need
The number of students who are taking the Grade 12 Physics course is in decline.
Therefore if a student would like to take a university level Physics course and do not have
the Grade 12U Physics requirement, this course will provide an opportunity to complete
the Grade 12U Physics course requirement at Nipissing. Considering that we intend to
offer the course on-line, it will be available province wide. This may be helpful to high
school students not able to take 12U Physics in their own schools.
D) Statement of Resource Requirements
The course will be offered online. Therefore, there will be an initial cost of setting up the
course for online offering. We expect that the course will be taught by a part-time
instructor through the Centre for Flexible Learning.
