BPK Motions for FSUCC meeting May 2012 - Ryan Dill
The following changes to the programs in BPK reflect recommendations we
received in our most recent external review that are in addition to our own
critique.
1.
BPK MOTION : Add Kin 142 Introduction to Kinesiology to the list of
required courses for the Biomedical Physiology (BIF) Minor.
Rationale:
This motion corrects a prerequisite omission error. Kin 325/324 is a
required course in our minor program. The course Kin 142 is a prerequisite to
Kin 325/324, and these courses current instructor believe the content and
learning outcomes of Kin 142 remain essential.

BPK MOTION : Remove KIN 326 as
a
prerequisite for KIN 415
KIN 415-3 Neural Control of Movement
Rationale:
KIN 326 - titled Functional Anatomy is no longer required as a prerequisite as all
relevant anatomy is now covered within KIN 415. KIN 326 - Functional Anatomy
has sinceemerged as a barrier for students interested in enrolling in KIN 415
earlier in their program.
FROM:
An in depth study of the neurophysiology of movement. Illustrates general
principles of neural control by exploring specific movement tasks including
standing, walking, reaching/grasping, and eye movements. Prerequisite: KIN 306
or BISC 305 and
KIN 326.

BPK MOTION : Add one of Kin 496 - Directed Studies I or Kin 498 -
Directed Studies II, to upper division required options for the Behavioural
Neuroscience Major and Honors programs
Rationale: The directed studies courses being added as approved optional
courses are excellent opportunities for our Behavioral Neuroscience students to
obtain relevant experiential learning (eg. inquiry).

5.
BPK MOTION : Change CHEM 180 from a prerequisite to a co-requisite for
KIN 208
Rationale:
The School of Engineering has made several changes to their Biomedical
Engineering Program. One of the changes is to allow students to opt into the
BMED ENG stream in the fall of their third year, which is at the same program-
time point
as other engineering streams, The BMED ENG specific courses.
SCUS 12-41 (vi)
therefore, need to be offered later in their program. To facilitate this, CHEM 180
is being recommended to be changed from a prerequisite to a co-requisite for
KIN 208. Both courses may now be taken in the fall of the student'sthird year.
The primary instructor for KIN 208 (J. Wakeling) believes this change will not be
detrimental to students.
FROM:
KIN 208-3 Introduction to Physiological Systems
An introduction to anatomy and physiological function of the major human
systems, from a biomedical engineering perspective. Normally only
available to students in the Biomedical Engineering Program. KIN 208 may
be used as a substitute for KIN 105 by students in the Kinesiology Minor
and Certificate programs. Kinesiology Major and Honors students may not
receive credit for KIN 208. No student may take both KIN 105 and KIN 208
for credit, or both KIN 205 and KIN 208 for credit.

Rationale:
When new fourth year specialty courses in the area of research
faculty are introduced, they are first run as special topics courses. As we have
not run these is several years this omission in the calendar for the Active Health
Concentration of
the KIN major and Honors Degrees was not noticed. We
currently have several proposals for fourth year special topics courses that will be
of significant interest to students in these programs.
