loading, multi-axis stress analysis, beam bending, analysis of mechanical systems (e.g., pressure
vessels, and buckling of columns; design for strength and deflection of a member.)
Prerequisites: SC/MATH 1013 3.00, SC/MATH 1014 3.00, SC/PHYS 1800 3.00
LE/MECH 2501
Renaissance Engineer 3: Mechanical Workshops
(2.00)
This course covers workshop safety, introduces and practices various subtractive
manufacturing methods (e.g., cutting, drilling, machining). It introduces sheet metal working
and joining methods. Parts will be fabricated using subtractive methods and be assembled with
parts from the co-req. course.
Prerequisites: None
Co-requisites: LE/MECH 2401 3.00
Winter Term Courses
LE/ENG 2402
Renaissance Engineering 4: Mini-Design Project
(3.00)
This course builds upon the skills students were introduced to in Renaissance Engineer 1 and
Renaissance Engineer 2 and tasks students with completing a mini design project in small
teams. Lecture topics include a review of the design process, project planning techniques, and
effective project and team management skills. Project topics focus on the field of mechanical
engineering.
Prerequisites: LE/ENG 1101 4.00 LE/ENG 1102 4.00

SC/MATH 2015
Applied Multivariate and Vector Calculus
(3.00)
Topics covered include partial derivatives; grad, div, curl and Laplacian operators; line and
surface integrals; theorems of Gauss and Stokes; double and triple integrals in various
coordinate systems; extrema and Taylor series for multivariate functions.
Prerequisite: One of SC/MATH 1010 3.00, SC/MATH 1014 3.00, SC/MATH 1310 3.00; or SC/MATH

Introduction to Probability and Statistics
(3.00)
This is an applied probability and statistics course for engineering students. The aim is to
provide an application oriented introduction to probability and statistics. The examples will be
from a wide selection of engineering disciplines. The probability component is about 30% of
the lectures. About 40% of the time, the lectures and tutorials focus on solving practical
statistical problems that emerge from engineering problems.

This course is designed to encourage students to participate in a variety of either engineering,
or non-engineering related activities, to extend their education out of the classroom into the
broader University and engineering community. The course comprises three elements,
identification of an appropriate opportunity in which to participate, participation in a
leadership role in that activity, reporting back on the students’ roles and experiences while
pursuing that activity, and identifying the personal lesson learned.
