Schedule for approval: Date of circulation: March 27, 2009 Date by which Challenge must be received: April 13, 2009 Date by which changes will automatically be considered approved in the absence of Challenge: April 24, 2009 COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCE Division of Social Sciences GEOGRAPHY AND PLANNING Specialization in Water Science Program Description: The Specialization in Water Science can be taken in conjunction with the Four-Year B.Sc. or B.Sc. Honours degrees in Geography. The specialization is designed to 1 provide students with a strong and structured physical understanding of the hydrological processes that affect the quantity and movement of surface and near-surface waters and the impacts of human activities on water supply and characteristics. Opportunities exist within the Specialization for students to explore atmosphere - land surface interactions through the application of Geographic Information Science technology in hydrological modelling, to explore ecosystem interactions of water, and to better understand the linkages between water, landscape and climate. Students are trained in the fundamental background and key practical skills required to address the emerging water problems in Canada. Requirements: GEOG 225.3, 290.3, 325.3, 328.3, and 427.3; plus 6 credit units selected from GEOG 332.3, 498.3 (Catchment Modelling); ABE 309.3, 432.3; BIOL 228.3, 253.3, 412.3; GEOL 229.3, 413.3 (21 credit units in total). Rationale: The Department of Geography and Planning has a long-standing national and international reputation for excellence in hydrological research. Our faculty complement in hydrology includes Dr. Dirk de Boer, Dr. Cherie Westbrook, Dr. Lawrence Martz, Dr. Seifu Guangul and Dr. John Pomeroy, Tier I Canada Research Chair in Water Resources and Climate Change. The Department of Geography and Planning proposes to offer the Specialization in Water Science to take advantage of this research expertise and to strengthen the connection between scholarly research and undergraduate teaching in our B.Sc. programs. The program is designed to provide students with the skills they need to address issues related to environmental change and its impacts on water supply. The Specialization in Water Science will address the University’s goal to promote multidisciplinary teaching and learning in environmental science. Recognizing the value of a multidisciplinary education in the development of well-rounded and highly skilled scientists with skills in a key focal area, we hope to offer a program that exposes students to water science across several disciplines by engaging colleagues in the Departments of Agricultural & Bioresource Engineering, Biology, and Geological Sciences in program delivery. In doing so, the Specialization will link to nodes of water research and training across campus, and educate students who are uniquely able to address the complex water problems now facing Canada. This proposal will be circulated to Agricultural & Bioresources Engineering, Biology, Environmental Earth Science, and Geological Sciences. Background: Please note that Specializations for BSc students in the College of Arts & Science have now been approved by the Academic Programs Committee of Council, as was reported to the February 26, 2009 Council meeting. For more information, see this documentation. Specializations in existing fields, such as Water Science, are to be approved by University Course Challenge. Specializations in new fields are to be approved by the Academic Programs Committee of Council.

COLLEGE OF GRADUATE STUDIES & RESEARCH Item for Information: School of Public Health Please note that the CGSR Joint Committee has approved the following changes in course labels:. From To CHEP 803 – Health Promotion PUBH 803 – Health Promotion CHEP 804 – Community Health Issues PUBH 804 – Foundations of Public Health CHEP 807 – Health Program Planning & PUBH 807 – Health Program Planning & Evaluation Evaluation CHEP 808 – Health Policy & Politics PUBH 808 – Introduction to Health Management COLLEGE OF KINESIOLOGY Course Deletion and New Course DELETION OF KIN 390 – REPLACED WITH KIN 380 KIN 390 is a course that is no longer offered. It was a requirement of the Honours Program. However since a curriculum review KIN 380 is now a requirement for all Kinesiology students therefore KIN 390 is no longer offered. KIN 390 will be replaced with the following: KIN 380.3 Research Methods in Kinesiology – ½(3L) 11 This course provides an introduction to research methods and design used in kinesiology research. The course will focus on critical evaluation of research studies and the use of various types of research methods with emphasis on the sport and physical activity context. Prerequisite(s): KIN 121 and 122; STAT 245 or PLSC 314 or PSY 233; or permission of the department APPROVED BY UPC: DECEMBER 4, 2008 FACULTY MEETING: MARCH 12, 2009 Program changes: Honours program CHANGE IN ALLOTMENT OF CREDIT UNITS FOR HONOURS PROGRAM IN KINESIOLOGY In the current Honours Program students are required to obtain an additional 9 credit units in College Required. This is due to the fact that KIN 490.3 (Research Seminar) and KIN 494.6 (Honours Project/Thesis) are a requirement of the Honours Degree. With the addition of these 9 credit units the total College Required Credits is 42 cu. In the past these 9 credit units were taken away from the Unrestricted Electives (9 cu required). Those not in the Honours Degree program are required to complete 18 cu in unrestricted electives. It was felt that because KIN 490.3 and KIN 494.6 are college of Kinesiology courses that it would be more appropriate to reduce the College Electives in the B.Sc. Honours Program from 24 cu to 15 cu and raise the unrestricted electives from 9 cu to 18 cu to match the B.Sc. Degree Structure. Proposed Changes for Honours Program: College Electives in Kin to be reduced from 24 cu to 15 cu Unrestricted Electives to be increased from 9 cu to 18 cu These proposed changes maintain the total credit units required for a B. Sc. (Kin) at 126 cu. APPROVED UPC: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4TH , 2008 FACULTY MEETING: MARCH 12, 2009 Prerequisite change KIN 381.3 – REMOVAL OF CO-REQUISITES 321 AND 322 It is felt that there is no benefit to student having KIN 322 and or KIN 321 as a co-requisite to KIN 381.3. KIN 322 is a requirement to the students Kinesiology degree and is suggested that they take this course in their third year. KIN 321 is not a requirement but rather an elective that students may chose to take. There is no benefit to the student to have KIN 321 prior to or concurrently with KIN 381 Proposed Change: Remove KIN 322.3 and KIN 321.3 as co-requisites to KIN 381.3 APPROVED UPC: MARCH 3, 2009 FACULTY: MARCH 12, 2009 12
