Biomedical Physiology Major and Honors Programs
1. a. Resubmission - from September 2011
BPK Motion : Remove CHEM 286 Organic Chemistry Laboratory II
(2) from the Biomedical Physiology Major and Honors programs as a
requirement.
Rationale: The content of this course is not required for our majors, but has been
included in the past as it was a prerequisite for medical school. Itis not required
as a prerequisite for any courses in our program. UBC Medicine no longer
requires
this course as a pre-requisite.
1. b.
Resubmission From July 2011
BPK MOTION : Add Kin 207 to Biomedical Physiology Major and
Honors programs as a required course.
KIN 207-3 Human Motor Systems
Students are introduced to basic concepts in human motor systems
underlying goal-direction movement. Topics including the problems of
planning/control of movements, the role of the nervous system in
integrating sensory and motor systems to produce movement, and motor
learning are discussed. Taught from a behavioral and neurophysiological
perspective and explores psychological influences on motor control.
Research from a variety of distinct areas is integrated to provide a
coherent picture of our understanding of human motor systems.
Prerequisite: KIN 142 or permission of instructor.
Rationale:
KIN
207 has undergone significant changes recently under Dan Marigold. The
course now includes neurophysiology of interest to our biomedical physiology
majors. The new content leads very well into upper division physiology courses
KIN
306-3 Human Physiology II (Principles of Physiological Regulation) and KIN
415-3 Neural Control of Movement. Content now covered in Kin 207 will allow the
upper division courses to expand the depth of their coverage in similar areas.
Kin 207 was removed as a required as a required course inthe biomedical
physiology major in 2008, when the course focused on motor learning. The
current physiological perspective will be of significant interest and benefit to
Biomedical Physiology Major and Honors students.
The lower division requirements in the Biomedical Physiology major are similarto
our other major programs. We are also proposingto remove
CHEM 286-2 as a
requirement for these majors. Ifthe removal of CHEM 266-2 is approved, the
number of lower division courses requirement will not be altered by this addition.

3. BPKMOTION: Add the following statement to the prerequisite for
KIN 205. The course change form to alter the prerequisites for KIN 205 is
attached.
- Students who have taken BISC 305 can not take KIN 205 for further
credit
RATIONALE
: There is significant overlap in material between BISC 305 and KIN
205, with BISC 305 being more advanced. Our intentionwith this motion is that students
should not take BISC 305 followed by KIN 205 for credit, but could take KIN 205
followed by BISC 305, and receive credit for both. Julian Christians, Biological Sciences
Undergraduate Chair was consulted and agrees with this rationale.
FROM: BISC 101, CHEM 281, PHYS 101 and 102. Kinesiology majors and honors
students who have taken KIN 105 must also take KIN 205. For students taking both of
these courses, credit will only be given for KIN 205.
TO: BISC 101, CHEM 281, PHYS 101 and 102. Kinesiology majors and honors students
who have taken KIN 105 must also take KIN 205. For students taking both of these,
courses, creditwill only be givenfor KIN 205.
Students who have taken BISC 305
can not take KIN205 for further credit
4.BPK MOTION: For Biomedical Physiology (BIF) and KIN honors
degrees, change the statements in the calendar regarding admission
requirements.
FROM :
Admission Requirements
Application requires
- completion of a minimum of
60
units
- a minimum CGPA of 3.00
- submission of a completed program approval form, along with the student's
most recent unofficial record, to the undergraduate advisor.
TO :
Admission Requirements
Application requires
-completion of a minimum of
90
units
- a minimum CGPA of 3.00
- submission of a completed program approval form, along with the student's
most recent unofficial record, to the undergraduate advisor.
RATIONALE:
- KIN 497-3 Undergraduate HonorsThesisProposal requires 90 units as a pre requisite,
so students can not start their honors until they have at least 90 units.
- 90 units is an appropriate amount of backgroundknowledge before engaging in honors
level research. Students should complete a significant volume of upper division work in
order to be evaluated effectively and be prepared thoroughly for research at the honors
level.
- More junior undergraduates may volunteer in labs or utilize directed studies courses
(minimum 75 units) to initiate earlier engagement in research.

General Science
Double Minor
Program
SCUS 11-55e
Proposed Changes in the General
Science
Double Minor Program
Background
In response toa series of issues, especially requests from several Departments and the recent changes to the PASS BGS
degree,
a
subcommittee
of
the
Faculty
of
Science
Undergraduate
Studies
Committee
was
struck
to
assess
the
current
General
Science Double Minor Program and propose revisions. The subcommittee was composed ofD. Leznoff (Chemistry), R. Dill
(BPK) and G. Williams-Jones (Earth Sciences).
Rationale
Upon
discussion,
the
sub-committee
proposed
to
change
the
requirements
for
the
General
Science
Double
Minor
Degree.
The sub-committee debated the merits of creating a BGS degree modeled afterthe original PASS BGS but decided that the
students and the Faculty were better served by broadening the scope of the FacSd Double Miw>r instead, rather than create a
new degree.
Key proposed global changes + rationales
therefore:
1.
Remove restrictions for combinations of minors within the Faculty of Science. This increases the flexibility of the
program within the Faculty.
2. The list of required courses has been modified to reflect a broader scope within the Faculty of Science, while maintaining
flexibility (e.g.only one required BISC course; PHYS lab is optional; several KIN course choices havebeenadded). The
STAT requirement hasbeentightened to specify science-studenttargeted STAT courses (inlinewiththeScience Majors core
courses). Flexibility has also been increased by noting thatthe courses do not need to all be taken in the first yearof study.
3. Allow one of the two Minors to be from outside the Facultyof Science. Any Minorin the universitycan be countedas the
secondminor. This maximizesthe flexibility of the program, allowing studentsto pair any non-Faculty of Scienceexpertise
with their Sciencebackground, which could allowfor students to showcase some unique, distinctive blendsof education,
while maintaining their Science core (see #4 below).
4. In order to maintainthe essence of a flB .Sc." dtegree, a general requirement that 80 credits minimum must be completedin
the Facultyof Science, of which 28 must be UD credits,has also been added.
5. The requirement that all coursesin the two minors musthave minimum C- grades is morestrictthan the Majors
requirements and thus this requirement has been removed. The general university requirement for an overall GPA of 2.0
remains,as well as a requirement for a UD-GPA of 2.0 in the courses for the two minors.
Documented below are the detailed proposed changes.
Present General Science (Proposed changes underlined)
General Science Double Minor Program
This degree program provides broad education in several
fields with specialization in at least two. It requires two
minors chosenfrom below,one of which must be in the
Faculty of Science. Restrictions for the combination of
minors is listed below.
Students must have their selection of minors for die BSc
general science program approved by the program
advisor as eaiiy in their program as
possible.
Only one minor may be selected from each of the following
six subject areas.
• biological sciences, environmental toxicology, kinesiology
» molecular biology and biochemistry. chemistry,
environmental chemistry
• mathematics, statistics,computing science
• physics, nuclear science
• earthscience,physical geography
ProposedchanpeaUnderlined
General Science Doable Minor Program
This degree program provides broad education in
fields with specialization in at least two.
Students most have their selection of minors for the BSc
general science program approved by the program
advisor as early in their program as possible.
Any two minors from the Faculty of Science may be
combined to complete the B.Sc. in general science program.
Alternatively, one minor from the Faculty of Science and one
minor from outside the Faculty
of Science ran glynhe
combined to complete the
BSc. in general science program.
Note the Faculty
of Science minimum credit requirements
below,
• frOTtaffQlogyi psychology
Because oftheproximity of subjectmatter,thefollowing
combinations of minors are not acceptable:
•

This program prepares students for careers in industry.
Prerequisite Grade Requirement
To enrol in a course offered by the Department of Mathematics, a student must obtain a grade of C-
or better in each prerequisite course. Some courses may require higher prerequisite grades. Check
the MATH course's Calendar description for details.
Students will not normally be permitted to enrol in any course for which a D grade or lower was
obtained in any prerequisite. No student may complete, for further credit, any course offered by the
Department of Mathematics which is a prerequisite for a course the student has already completed
with a grade of C- or higher, without permission ofthe department.
Program Requirements
The program requires the completion of 120 units which includes a Faculty of Science requirement of
a minimum of28 upper division units, and additional upper division units to total a minimum of 44
upper division units (excluding EDUC 401,407).
The specific program requirements are divided into three parts: a common core of courses completed
by all students, a choice of one of three area requirements (i.e option A, B or C), and completion of a
minor program if the students is completing either the option B area requirement or the option C area
requirement.
In addition to the program requirements set out below, general university and Faculty of Science
regulations must be met.
Computing science courses that are completed in the industrial mathematics major program will count
towards the requirement that 12 units must be completed from outside of the Faculty of Science.
A minimum program 2.00 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) must be obtained on the overall
major program requirements, as well as a minimum program 2.00 grade point average in the upper
division major courses.
Lower Division Core Requirements
Students complete a minimum total of 27 units, including either one of
• CMPT 126-3 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming

MATH 198 Introduction to Quantitative Reasoning
MATH 198 Introduction to Quantitative Reasoning has been a required course in the
Integrated Studies program within the Bachelor of General Studies degree. At an
Octoher 8, 2010 meeting, the Senate Committee on University Priorities (SCUP) reviewed
and approved the proposal to halt admission to the Integrated Studies Programwithin the
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, effective Fall 2010 and that the program be
discontinued upon the current cohort's completion in 2013. We will retain this course with
a view to incorporating Math 198 in additional curricula as needs are identified.
Please contact myself or Ms. Dale Yamaura, Manager, Academic and Administrative
