ENGG 1001 Engineering Practice Lecture Series
0 ch (1C)
A guest lecture series intended to introduce students to the engineering profession. Speakers
from various engineering disciplines and job functions share their career experiences and
discuss exciting engineering projects underway in the region.
ENGG 1003 Engineering Technical Communications
4 ch (2C, 3L) [W]
Oral, written and visual communication skills are developed as important tools used by
engineers. Technical writing style is taught through the preparation of reports and summaries,
and oral communication skills are improved through public speaking and the preparation of
formal presentations. Computer-aided design is introduced and used to enhance visualization
skills. The importance of information literacy is stressed. Various types of engineering drawings
are presented and engineering unit conversions are practiced.
ENGG 1015
Introduction to Engineering Design
2 ch (1C, 2L)
and Problem Solving
This course introduces engineering design methodology and develops basic problem solving
techniques. Under the supervision of senior students and with the guidance of industry
engineers, students work both individually and in teams on real engineering design projects for
the local community in a simulated engineering consulting environment. Project planning,
team- building, leadership and responsible care are discussed. Laboratories are used to
demonstrate problem solving techniques for analytical and open-ended problems, and life-long
learning is emphasized by having students integrate co-requisite and researched material into a
structured design process. Co-Requisites: ENGG1003, PHYS 1081, MATH 1003, MATH 1503
ENGG 1082 Mechanics for Engineers
4 ch (3C 1T 2L)
Introduction to the fundamental concepts of vector analysis, and its application to the analysis
of particles and rigid bodies. The static analysis of particles and rigid bodies, including practical
applications such as the analysis of trusses, frames and machines. The static analysis of
structural systems including the analysis of internal forces and bending moments in beams. The
analysis of kinematics of particle motion along straight and curved paths. The analysis of kinetic
motion for particles based on force and acceleration, and work and energy. The course topics
focus on visualizing concepts in mechanics, and developing problem solving strategies.
Prerequisite: PHYS 1081, MATH 1003 and MATH 1503 (or MATH 2213 or equivalent).
ENGG 4013 Law and Ethics for Engineers
3 ch (3C)
General introduction to the legal and ethical aspects of engineering practice. Social
responsibilities of engineers, the engineering act and code of ethics, occupational
health and safety, sustainable development, environmental stewardship, employment

equity, legal duties and liabilities of the professional engineer, contracts, the tort of
negligence, labour law, intellectual and industrial property, conflict resolution.
Restricted to students with at least 100 ch in the engineering program. Limited
enrolment; priority given to students in their final year of engineering.
ENGG 4025 Multidisciplinary Design Project
8 ch (1C 2T 4L) [W]
Full-year design course (fall and winter of same academic year) which may be taken in place of
the final-year design course in any engineering program. Working in multidisciplinary teams of
4 or 5 students, students will work on a design project sponsored by an outside client. The
proposed solution should meet a broad range of constraints including health and safety,
sustainable development and environmental stewardship. Deliverables include progress
reports and presentations, a final report including engineering drawings, and if applicable, a
prototype. Weekly lectures will cover topics relevant to the design projects and will include
presentations by guest speakers. The weekly tutorial hours are designated for scheduled
meetings with project co-mentors. Prerequisites: Restricted to students who have completed
110 ch in their program and have received approval from their degree program coordinator.
