APS343H1 F/S: Engineering Leadership

Complementary Studies elective

This course is a practical approach to being a more productive engineer based on the
premise that for technology to become a reality it must be translated through people. A key
is to understand that engineers lead in ways that reflect their skills and mind set. The
course begins with examining: 1) the meaning of leading (Why do something?); 2) the
processes of leading (How do you do you create a vision and motivate others?); and 3) the
tools of leading (What steps do you take to lead?). Learning frameworks and personal
working styles inventories provide practical tools to assist the student to understand human
nature and the logic of learning to become a competent leader of self, teams and
organizations. The student prepares to become a competent leader by undertaking to learn
(understand and integrate) key skills, character attributes and purposeful behaviors. The
course presents strategies for development of high-performance teams. Special attention is
given to a number of subjects: transformational change, organizational culture, high
performance work systems, and self-leadership. The course material is delivered through
lectures, readings, in-class discussion and a team project. The project is based on the team
interviewing the CEO of an engineering-intensive company or senior leader in the
community. Students will be required to submit written reflections on course content and
their personal experience.

CIV420H1 F: Construction Engineering

This course considers the engineering aspects of construction including earthmoving,

equipment productivity, fleet balancing, formwork design, shoring, hoisting, aggregate
production, equipment operating costs, and modular construction. Several construction
projects will be reviewed to demonstrate methods and processes. Students will be expected
to visit construction sites, so safety boots and hard hats are required.

influencing policy which could significantly reduce environmental impacts of energy use.

FOR421H1: Green Urban Infrastructure: Sustainable City Forests

Complementary Studies elective

With over 80% of the world's population now living in cities, tomorrow's forests will be
urban. Increasing global recognition of nature deficit disorder and the values of green
infrastructure to mitigate broader human impacts gives a new meaning to the term 'urban
forestry', coined here at UofT and now recognized widely. Trees in and around the city are
key to providing multiple engineered and ecological services that only recently have been
brought into the responsible fiscal planning of every municipality around the globe. If
managed properly （a key concept）, urban forests mitigate climate change and urban
heat island effects, act as carbon sinks, air filters, water purifiers, air conditioners, noise
dampeners, wildlife and/or biodiversity refuges, and green spaces for the human spirit.
Here, we explore the challenges and opportunities of this exciting new applied field at the
cross-roads of ecology, engineering and planning to ensure future global sustainability

2017 Winter Session Course Descriptions

CIV300 H1: Terrestrial Energy Systems

Core Course in the Sustainable Energy Minor Various earth systems for energy
transformation, storage and transport are explored. Geological, hydrological, biological,
cosmological and oceanographic energy systems are considered in the context of the Earth
as a dynamic system, including the variation of solar energy received by the planet and the
redistribution of this energy through various radiative, latent and sensible heat transfer
mechanisms. It considers the energy redistribution role of large-scale atmospheric systems,
of warm and cold ocean currents, the role of the polar regions, and the functioning of
various hydrological systems. The contribution and influence of tectonic systems on the
surface systems is briefly introduced, as well the important role of energy storage

processes in physical and biological systems, including the accumulation of fossil fuel
reserves

CIV440H1: Environmental Impact and Risk Assessment

Core Course in the Environmental Engineering Minor. The process and techniques for
assessing and managing the impacts on and risks to humans and the ecosystem
associated with engineered facilities, processes and products. Both biophysical and social
impacts are addressed. Topics include: environmental assessment processes;
environmental legislation; techniques for assessing impacts; engineering risk analysis;
health risk assessment; risk management and communication; social impact assessment;
cumulative impacts; environmental management systems; the process of considering
alternative methods for preventing and controlling impacts; and stakeholder involvement
and public participation. Examples are drawn from various engineering activities and
facilities such as energy production, chemical production, treatment plants, highways and
landfills.

CIV498H1: Group Design Project

The Group Design Project is a significant design experience that

integrates the mathematics, basic sciences, engineering sciences,
complementary studies, and detailed design aspects of the different civil
engineering sub-disciplines.

CIV576H1: Sustainable Buildings

Building systems including the thermal envelope, heating and cooling

systems, as well as water and lighting systems are examined with a view
to reducing the net energy consumed within the building. Life-cycle
economic and assessment methods are applied to the evaluation of
various design options including considerations of embodied energy and
carbon sequestration. Green building strategies including natural
ventilation, passive solar, photovoltaic, solar water heaters, green roofs
and geothermal energy piles are introduced. Following the application of
these methods, students are introduced to efficient designs including
LEED designs that lessen the impact of buildings on the environment.
Exemplary building designs will be presented and analyzed.

GGR223H1: Env, Soc & Resources

This course provides an introduction to environmental geography. It focuses on society-

environment relations and different approaches to resource governance and management.
This includes exploration of the spatial, social, and political economic origins and
implications of humans' changing relations to nature. It draws on debates from

environmental governance and political ecology literatures. The course also investigates
the ways that different actors and institutions have framed and sought solutions to
environmental and resource challenges.

PER001H1: Practical Experience Requirement

Students are required to have completed a total of 600 hours of acceptable practical
experience before graduation (normally during their summer vacation periods). Students
registered within this program, may elect to enrol and participate in the Engineering
Summer Internship Program (ESIP) and the Professional Experience Year (PEY) Internship
Program. The ESIP program is a paid 4-month summer program open to qualified students
and serves as an introductory career development program to the PEY Internship Program.
The PEY Internship Program requires that qualified students undertake a paid, full-time 12-
16 month continuous work period with a participating company.

MINOR IN ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING (AEMINENV)

Students interested in learning more about ecology, sustainable design, risk assessment
and environmental impact may be interested in this minor. Our definition of environmental
engineering is broad, reaching to all areas at the interface of engineering and the
environment. This includes ecology and ecological impacts, waste management, water and
wastewater treatment, environmental microbiology, water resources engineering,
hydrology,
preventive engineering, life cycle analysis, design for the environment, and extends to the
social and environmental impacts of technology.
All undergraduate Engineering students are eligible to participate in this minor course of
study.
