Historical background to the modern age, tracing the Chinese state and empire from the earliest times until 1644 A.D. Basic political, social, and economic patterns; cultural, intellectual, and technological achievements; and China's impact on Asia and the world.

Teaches students to apply the principles of successful professional communication to workplace writing tasks. Students will also practice editing and supervising the writing of others. Assignments replicate typical business cases and situations, including a report that requires students to compile and interpret research. Credit is not given for both BTW 250 and either BTW 261 or BTW 263. Prerequisite: Junior standing and completion of campus Composition I requirement.

Principles of Neuroscience 3 is a Semester 1 elective course that aims to develop comprehensive understanding of neuroscience, its modern research questions and techniques across the range of disciplines including molecular, cellular, systems, cognitive, behavioural and computational neuroscience.

<p>Continued instruction in structuring academic, argumentative essays; concentrating on the use of primary and secondary sources as evidence in research-based arguments. Second semester of a two-semester sequence (RHET 101 - RHET 102) that fulfills the campus Composition I general education requirement. This course includes weekly individual tutorials. Credit is not given for both RHET 102 and RHET 105. Prerequisite: RHET 101. Tutorials will be scheduled the first week of classes.

Subject offerings of new and developing areas of knowledge in electrical and computer engineering intended to augment the existing curriculum. See Class Schedule or departmental course information for topics and prerequisites.

Instruction in structuring academic, argumentative essays, including how to develop thesis statements and use evidence across different types of writing. This course is the first semester of a two-semester sequence (RHET 101 - RHET 102) that fulfills the campus Composition I general education requirement. This course includes weekly individual tutorials. Credit is not given for both RHET 101 and RHET 105. Prerequisite: Placement in RHET 101.

Teaches students to apply the principles of successful professional writing to a range of realistic cases in technical communication. Emphasizes flexible problem-solving skills and a clear style for communicating technical information to a range of readers. Assignments will include correspondence, instructions, proposals, and a technical report or similar project. Credit is not given for both BTW 261 and BTW 250 or BTW 263. Prerequisite: Junior standing and completion of campus Composition I requirement.

Many phenomena in real life are random rather than deterministic in nature. Probability Theory is a branch of Mathematics which provides certain mathematically rigorous techniques to study such phenomena. This particular course gives a basic introduction to the modern Probability Theory.

<p>Probability theory with applications to engineering problems such as the reliability of circuits and systems to statistical methods for hypothesis testing, decision making under uncertainty, and parameter estimation. Same as MATH 362. Credit is not given for both ECE 313 and MATH 461. Prerequisite: MATH 286 or MATH 415.</p>

<p>Designed to be taken concurrently with ECE 313, Probability in Engineering Systems, to strengthen the students' understanding of the concepts in ECE 313 and their applications, through computer simulation and computation using the Python programming language.
