1979
Action taken by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies
meeting of 11 September 1979 gives rise to the following motions. At
its meeting on 3 October 1979 the Senate Committee on Academic Planning
gave approval to Motion 2. SCAP approval is not required on either
Motions 1 or 3.
MOTION 1 "That Senate approve, and recommend approval to the
Board of Governors, the proposed new courses in
Nuclear Science as outlined in Paper S.79-109 and
listed below (and that the predecessor courses be
discontinued as requested):
New Course Proposals:
1.
NUSC 341-3 - An Introduction to Radio Chemistry
with discontinuance of CHEM 341-3
2.
NUSC 446-2 - Nuclear Chemistry Laboratory
S
with discontinuance of CHEM 446-2
3.
NU SC 342-3 - Introduction to Nuclear Science
4.
NUSC 344-3 - Nucleosynthesis and Distribution
of the Elements
5.
NUSC 346-2 - Radiochemistry Laboratory
6.
NUSC 444-3 - Special Topics in Nuclear Science."
MOTION 2 "That Senate approve, and recommend approval to the
Board of Governors, the proposed Minor in Nuclear Science
as specified in Paper S.79-109."
Note: Approval and offering of the courses in the previous motion is not
contingent on the approval of the Minor. Whether or not the Minor
is approved the field of Nuclear Science represents a common inter-
est of faculty member in the departments of Chemistry and Physics.
It is an important field of scientific inquiry and one appropriately
identified on a student's transcript whether that student had taken
one or two courses or a greater concentration of study in the field.
This statement is not intended to diminish the argument for approval
of the proposed Minor and such approval is recommended by the Nuclear
Science Group, the Faculty of Science, the Senate Committee on Under-
graduate Studies, and the Senate Committee on Academic Planning.
MOTION 3 "That Senate approve, and recommend approval to the
Board of Governors, the proposed change in description
S
and in prerequisite for NUSC 442-3 - Properties of
Nuclear Matter, as set out in Paper S.79-109."

anticipate that the Nuclear Science Minor, if granted appropriate approval,
will be introduced in the Fall of 1980. As a result the following

Proposed Nuclear Science Minor
?
Date
?
March 26, 1979
The past decade has witnessed a substantial growth in the study and
application of nuclear phenomena. This includes not only the investiga-
tion of the properties of the nucleus and the development of theories to
account for these properties, but also the application of this newly
acquired knowledge, for example in the development of new power sources
and analytical tools for other disciplines. Given the present widespread
interest in nuclear science, as evidenced by the lay public's interest in
nuclear reactors by chemists and biologists in tracer and other techniques,
and by physicists and chemists in the structure of the nucleus, it would
appear an appropriate time to complete our course offerings at the upper
level in this area and to offer a minor programme in nuclear science.
The introduction of this minor is also timely in the light of the on-
going development of the Tr-University Meson Facility (TRIUMF), located
on the UBC campus. This collaborative facility is a national and inter-
national centre of excellence for research in the area of nuclear physics
and chemistry and in applied programmes that stem from these. The mount-
ing of a nuclear science minorat SFU will provide an. important link be-
tween the undergraduate teaching programme and the major research programme
at TRIUMF to which SFU faculty contribute.
The nuclear science minor would be, to our knowledge, the first of
its kind in Canada and would serve to clearly identify Simon Fraser
University as an important centre for the study of this subject. The
courses comprising the minor span a range such that they should prove
of benefit and interest both to.non-specialists and to those considering
a career in the nuclear field. Thus, some courses will emphasise the
application of nuclear techniques and as such may prove of interest to
students from other disciplines, including biology, biochemistry and
kinesiology, while other courses will present a more detailed treatment
of nuclear structure and theory for the specialist.
The minor programme includes the following nuclear science courses:
i)
two existing unmodified courses Nusc 442-3 and Nusc 485-3;
ii)
two existing modified courses Chem 341-3 and Chem 446-2 which are
now also re-numbered;
iii)
four new courses Nusc 342-3, Nusc 346-2, Nusc 344-3 and Nusc 444-3.

Of these Nusc 344-3 and Nusc 444-3 may be offered every second year
depending on
demand. Nusc 485-3 will be given by faculty from Physics
and Chemistry in alternate years. It is anticipated that other faculty
from Physics and from Biology may be involved from time to time in
teaching in the
nuclear science minor. The faculty from chemistry who
will make a major contribution to teaching in this programme are
Drs. D'Auria, Boal, Jones, and Korteling. The proposed minor will not
involve the hiring of any new faculty since the interests of the present
faculty in Chemistry and Physics span the theoretical and experimental
material covered in these courses. The new laboratory course Nusc346-2
will be offered in the same laboratory as Nusc 446-2.

I reply to one of the points raised in the F.U.C.C.C.'s discussion of our
proposal for the Minor Programme in Nuclear Science.
Faculty Resources:
The Minor Programme proposed, courses require the equivalent
of 3/4 of a faculty teaching load per year from this Department, assuming
that
NUSC
485-3 is covered every other year by faculty from Physics.
This load is more than accomodated by the reduction in frequency of offering
from 79-3 on of our third year courses from twice to once per year:
?
CHEM 361-3 ?
ClIli 332-3
?
CHEM 362-3 ?
CHEM 341-3
This will result in the students gaining a wider selection of courses at
the cost of a little more care in planning. In addition, individual faculty
in Physics have expressed interest in offering occasionally
NUSC
344-3,
Nu
cleosynthesis, and NUSC 444-3, Special Topics, which would reduce the
incremental load on Chemistry.
