Summary of Changes

1. Changes in course schedules in existing options.

2. Introduction of a Biomedical Engineering Option to replace the existing Biomedical Engineering stream.

The detail course schedules of all options are appended to this document.

1. Changes in Course Schedules in Existing Options

The following changes to the schedule of courses are proposed.

Bringing Math 232-3 forward from Semester 3 to Semester 2,
Moving ENSC 201-3 from Semester 4 to Semester 8,
Introduce ENSC 224-3 to the Electronics and Computer options in Semester 4,
Bringing forward Cmpl I-3 to Semester 4 for the Engineering Physics and the System options (Cmpl I-3 in the existing calendar becomes Cmpl II-3 for both the System and Engineering Physics options), and
Removal of the Tech and Scie III-3 electives in Semester 8 for the Electronics and the Computer options respectively.

Rationale

Since the 2003/2004 Calendar year, the Math department has made Math 232-3 a prerequisite for Math 310-3,
Mike Volker, the instructor of ENSC 201-3, suggests that the students will be better prepared for the course if it is offered at a later stage of their studies.

2. Introduction of a Biomedical Engineering Option

Highlights of the curriculum of this new option are:

A set of new courses in Biomedical Engineering: ENSC 370, 372, 374, 376, 472, 474, and 476.
A sequence of three courses in biochemistry and physiology especially designed by the School of Kinesiology and the Chemistry Department for engineering students: CHEM 180, KIN 208 and 308.
Additional courses in biomechanics and in rehabilitation, also from Kinesiology.
Flexibility in combining engineering science and science electives so that students can follow their interests, but with structure, in specific concentrations.

Rationale

The proposed Biomedical Engineering Option will bring a number of benefits to both the School of Engineering Science and the School of Kinesiology.

The School of Kinesiology will benefit from the availability of more undergraduate and graduate students with a strong background in engineering, significant exposure to kinesiology and life sciences, and a desire to conduct their research in conjunction with members of that school. The additional resources made available by the number of engineering students taking kinesiology courses will allow the school to expand its curriculum and its faculty ranks.

For Engineering Science, the undergraduate biomedical option will enable the recruitment and retention of top quality students, many of them women. As the popularity of biomedical engineering grows across North America, such an option at SFU will give us the opportunity to recruit from an entirely different student base. Second, the enhancement of our research and achievement of critical mass in this biomedical engineering will bring more opportunities for new or continuing students to complete graduate work in the area. And third, biomedical engineering links strongly to the research interests of many existing faculty members. The levels of innovation and research, already high in the School, should increase further.
