SCUS12-47a(i)

a.)

Proposed changes to the BSc Major in Management and Systems Science:

The Steering Committee for the Management and Systems Science (MSSC) program,

administered in the Faculty of Science,proposes the following changes to the MSSC program and

corresponding calendarlisting. These changes wereapproved by the steering Committee by

electronic vote on July 3,2012. Steering CommitteeMembersare: Tom Loughin, MSSC

program director, Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science; Joe Peters, School of

Computing Science;Abraham Punnen, Department of Mathematics; DianneCyr, Beedie School

ofBusiness, and Gord Myers, Department of Economics.

Summary of Changes:

•

Explicitly listing CMPT 120 as a LD requirement, which had previously been implicitly

required as it was a required course based on prerequisites.

•

Change the sequence FROM CMPT (125 or 126) and 275, TO CMPT 120,125, and 275.

•

Added a new sequence of 3 courses, CMPT 130,135,276, as a series-option to list of LD

requirements

\

•

Add new course MATH 208 to list ofLD requirements

• Correct an editorial error in the title ofthe course BUS 251

•

Moved MSSC 180 from UD requirements list to LD requirements list

•

In the list

of recommendedUD courses,the STAT4xx courses were replaced with new

list of STAT courses

---

Rationale for Changes:

•

Computing Science has added a special stream ofcourses in Surrey taught using the

computing language C++ rather than Java. These courses are CMPT

130,135,276. In

Surrey they no longer offer the sequence CMPT 120,125, 126, or 275, which are taught

using the Java language. The content of either set of courses is essentially the same, so

students may choose to take either sequence to fulfill program requirements.

•

Within the current calendar description, the sequence of computing courses (CMPT 125

and 126) did not explicitly list CMPT 120. CMPT 120 was always however a

prerequisite for CMPT 125. Therefore, this calendar change makes the requirement

of

CMPT 120 explicit.

•

Mathematics has introduced a new course, MATH 208-3: Introduction to Operations

Research, which teaches introductory-level material very close to the core of what

students will take in upper-division courses. Exposure of students to this material at an

introductory and very applied level early in the program should better prepare and

motivate them for the more technical coursework that they take later in the program.

•

This change is a correction to an editorial error in the calendar. The title ofthe course,

BUS 251-3, currently had a typographical error in its title that is now deleted with this

change.

•

MSSC 180 is now listed among the lower-division courses. This is a seminar based, 1-

credit, course where students get exposure to 10 presentations from individuals who are

invitedfrom the community. The intentof movingthis course to the LD requirements is

to stimulate student imagination and planning with respect to their undergraduate

program.

•

The Department ofStatistics and Actuarial Sciencehave recently revised their 300- and

400-level offerings, so changesneedto be made reflectingthese changes. All of the new

courses teach data analysis for differenttypes of data and/or different kinds of data-

gathering studies. Therefore, all ofthese courses can be useful additions to a student's

program in accordance with their interests.

Management and Systems Science Honours

Program

Management and Systems Science Program I Faculty of Science

Simon Fraser University Calendar 2012 Fall

The Faculty of Science, with the Departments of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial

Science, Economics, the Beedie School of Business, and the School of Computing

Science, offer an honours in management and systems science (MSSC) at the Surrey

campus leading to a bachelor of science (BSc) with honours degree. These are highly

structured programs providing a multidisciplinaryapproach to quantitative methods for

business and industry in an environment of rapid changes in technology.

The program is managed by the Faculty of Science at the Surrey campus. A steering

committee consisting of representatives from the above mentioned departments and

faculty serve as liaison between participating departments and the program director.

Where possible, the director and steering committee members will be based on the

Surrey campus.

Students formally apply to be admitted into the program. Applications can be considered

both for students entering Simon Fraser University, and for students already enrolled.

Admission into the program is decided on a competitive basis. Students must maintain a

2.7 cumulative

grade point average (CGPA) in MSSC program course work to remain in

the program and to graduate. Itis strongly recommended that students contact the

Surrey science advisor or program director early about admission and scheduling.

Students who wish to combine the MSSC honours program with another major or minor

should consult with the MSSC director.

Program Requirements

Students complete 132 units, as specified below.

Under University regulations, an honours degree requires completion of a minimumof 60

upper division units in courses numbered 300 and above, Including at least 50 upper

division units in the honours program, and completion of at least 132 units, honours

students require a graduation grade point average of not less than 3.00.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Student successfully completing thiscoursewill be able to: 1)demonstrate a morecomplete understanding ofthe concepts ofdeformation, deformation mechanisms,

stress and strain, material properties and their relationship to the types ofdeformation (e.g., brittle versus ductile), and the processes responsible for the development of

geologic structures; 2)Identify, properly describe and measure most deformational structures at all scales(regional to microscopic); carry outa structural analysis at all

scales, draw and palinspastlcally restore balanced cross sections, andInterpret thegeologic history ofa region based onassessment oftheir data, maps andcross

sections; 3) understand how to carryouta kinematic analysis(e.g.,determine shear sense) and how to infer, and possibly measure, the states of stress and strainthatled

tothedevelopment ofthestructures;

A)

demonstrate a sound comprehension oftherelationship between deformation, orogenesis and plate tectonics.

RATIONALE

EASC 404 is only offered every other year. This means certain student cohorts can only take

EASC 404 in their 3rd year since it would not be offered the following year. Unfortunately, the

current prerequisites prevent most students in their 3rdyear from taking EASC 404. By changing

EASC 301 and 309 to pre/corequisites, this problem is eliminated.

RATIONALE

This course provides a broad introduction to environmental geoscience topics that we would like to moveto the

200-level. Presently EASC students choose between the Geology or Environmental Geoscience streams at the

end ofsecond yearwithout having been exposed to thefield ofenvironmental geoscience. Moving this course to

second year will therefore allow students to make an informed choice and this addresses oneofthe suggestions

from a recent departmental review. Furthermore, this course will now meet lower division Wrequirements.

Earth Sciences Honours Program

This bachelorof science (BSc) with honours program offers a wide cross-section

of discipline-related courses while providing an opportunity for independent

research. The program has three course stream options leading to course

concentrations: geology stream, environmental geoscience stream, and general

earth sciences stream.

The geology andenvironmental geoscience streamsaredesigned to permit a

student to enrol as a geologist or environmental geoscientist respectively, in the

Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia

(APEGBCY

the governingbody that regulatesgeosciencepractice in BC. All

students intending to practiceas a geoscientist in BC must be licensed by

APEGBC. and are strongly advised to pursue one ofthese two streams. Many

other Canadian provinces also require professional licensing.

Students who are not intending to practice as professional geoscientists. mav

choose to pursue the general Earth Sciences stream. This stream mav best

accommodate students in some joint maior urograms.

Students should seek the advice ofa departmental program advisor.

Admission Requirements

Entryto the program requiresa 3.00 or higher(B standing)

cumulativegrade point average (CGPA), and departmental

permission.

Proposal for W designation for Kin 451

Richard Ward & Anne-Kristina Arnold

May 2012

The objective of this proposal for a

KIN 451W Course

is to allow students to fulfilltheir upper division

W credit through the writing components from their Co-op practicum. Students complete substantial

writing components within each Co-op practicum including reflective, career, technical, professional,

and academic writing. This proposal intends that the W designation be an option for students in their

third

work semester (KIN 451) for the writing completed related to the discipline and profession. This

would be assessed by a qualified W instructor and meet all current W guidelines

and learning outcomes.

Prior to KIN 451, BPKCo-op students will have already completed:

• two Co-op preparatory courses; Bridging Online courses

•

two written Co-op Practicum Projects

The addition of a W designation for KIN 451 requires that students'written work meet explicit criteria;

receive appropriate feedback and response that is directed at improving the quality of writing for the

forms and purposes of the discipline and the profession; and that student integrate the feedback in to

the revision of their written work. The writing will be graded and iterative; the graded components will

comprise more than 50% of the course grade and students are required to implement feedback on their

writing

and resubmit for further grading. KIN 451W will be a graded course which will be different

from the other practicum courses which are presently graded as PASS/FAIL.

The graded components for KIN 451W with mark breakdown are as follows:

Reflective writing piece

1st Submission

10%

Resubmission

5%

Project

1st Submission

40%

Resubmission

20%

Symposium Presentation

25%

REFLECTIVE WRITING PIECE

For the KIN 451W Reflective Writing Piece, students will setlearning objectives (learning explorations)

for theirCo-op practicum, inclusive ofboth discipline and professional objectives, atthe beginning of

theirCo-op practicum. During the thirdweek ofthe Co-op practicum, students will usewriting to

reflect on the plausibility and attainability of their learning explorations based on the actual

experiences; discussions with their Workplace Supervisor; and dialogue with Co-op Staffor

Coordinator. By referringto the examples ofwritingwithinthe profession and standards accepted for

this course,students willincorporate their reflection into a written proposalthat outlines howthe

student will realizetheir learning objectives in the

KIN 451WProject. Student willreceivefeedback on

theirproposal and re-submit the KIN 451W Reflective Writing Piece. Discussions with respect to

learning objectives and theproposal will continue inperson between thestudent, Co-op Coordinator

and the employer/supervisor at the work placesite visit

---

PROJECT

For the KIN 45IW Project, students will use writing to demonstrate their discipline specific learning by

using forms and purposes that are typical of the professions. Examples of writing within the profession

and standards accepted for this course include:

•

Case study Article (e.g. read and critique article, write an abstract in your own words)

•

Documentation and problem solving (e.g.: medical notes on the patient'sinjury history, safe

return to work plan, patient care activities, exercise progressions, charting notes, job demand

analysis, patient work place evaluation)

• Research Projects

•

Lab Reports

• Advocacy Papers

• Short essays of physical exams

• Client Summary Papers

•

Writing to a physician and/or lawyer or ICBC/ Work SafeAgent regarding patient'sprogress

with treatment and recommended return to work plan

• Scientific abstract or Journal submission

• Scientific poster submissions

Eachaccepted standard will have detailed requirements, purposes and guidelines that facilitate the

understanding of typical structures, models of reasoning, styles of address, and the use of languageas

well as examples to support the instruction.

Student willsubmit a final draft ofthe KIN451W Projectfor feedback from an employer (the

professional lens, no academic weight) and marker (for academic lens) and the resubmit the KIN 451W

Project for final grading.

Symposium Presentation

Asymposium for all Kin 45IW students willbe held during the examination period at the end of the

semester. Students are required to give a 15-minute Visual &Oral Presentation about their KIN 45IW

Project and provide the audience with handouts. For grading, students will submit the visual

presentation, and outline of their oral speaking/ preparation notes, and the audience handouts.

The Symposium willbe graded by the designatedBPK faculty member, Co-op Co-ordinator and

Workplace Supervisor(ifavailable) on components ofappropriate visuals, oral presentation,balance,

and written notes and handouts.

Grading Procedure

The BPK Undergraduate Program Committee (UPC) remains committed to the integrity ofgrading in

courses. Since this grading will occur outside ofthe usual classroom grading situation the UPC has

implemented a double grading supervisory format. The marking ofthe written components ofthe

course will be under double supervision. The reflective piece andthe projectwill be marked bya

trained Wmarker paid bythe $75 per student allocation for Writing T.A.S. This will besupervised by

---

BPK Co-op Coordinator Darken Bemister who has undergone the Faculty ofScience Writing training

workshops and a BPK Faculty member. In addition a BPK faculty member will also supervise the

process for the project. The symposium presentation will be marked by the BPK faculty member and

theemployer (ifappropriate). BPK faculty member Richard Ward (KIN 304W) andAnne-Kristina

Arnold (KIN 180W)have committed to fulfill this role.

Currently the

BPK Co-op Requirements are:

Completion of 45 credit hours prior to the start of the first work term.

Registered as a full-time student (minimumof 9 credit hours)

KIN 142, plus two other Kinesiologycourses

Good written, verbal,

and interpersonal communication skills

GPA: good academic standing (recommended 2.50)

Undergraduate work and study semesters normally alternate.

Successful completion of at least four work terms is required for a Co-operative Education

degree designation; however, undergraduate students are eligible for a Co-op certificate upon

successful completion of three work terms.

• Students register for work terms as KIN 351,352,451,452 & 453.

KIN 351-3 Practicum I

The first term ofwork experience in the Kinesiology Co-operative Education Program. Units

from this course do not count towards the units required for an SFU degree. Prerequisite:

students must complete Bridging Online (visit www.sfu.ca/coop/bol for further details) at least

two terms before their anticipated co-op placement Students must then apply to the

Kinesiology Co-op Program by the first week of the term preceding the work term. Normally,

students will have completed a minimum of 45 units by the

end of the term of application, KIN

142, plus at least two other kinesiology courses and have a minimum GPA of 2.50. Work terms

are graded as pass/fail (P/F).

KIN 352-3 Practicum II

The second term of work experiencein the Kinesiology Co-operativeEducation Program. Units

from this course do not count towards the units required for an SFU degree. Prerequisite: KIN

351. Work terms are graded as pass/fail (P/F).

KIN 451-3 Practicum III

The third term of work experience for students in the Kinesiology Co-operative Education

Program. Units from this course do not count towards the units required for an SFU degree.

Prerequisite: KIN 352. Work terms are graded as pass/fail (P/F).

KIN 452-3 Practicum IV

The fourth term ofwork experiencefor students in the Kinesiology Co-operative Education

Mathematics Curriculum Changes

I Update Elective Courses section in our Mathematics Major and Honours

Programs

Justification: We do not want students taking the excluded courses to satisfy the requirement.

From (current description):

In addition to the courses listed above, students should consult an academic advisor to plan the

remaining required elective courses.

Students obtain at least six units in courses offered by the Faculty of Science outside the

Department of Mathematics, and the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science. Students will

also obtain at least six units in Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences courses. (The two required

CMPT courses and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences six-unit requirement fulfill the Faculty

of Science requirement that students complete 12 units from outside the Faculty of Science.)

To

(new description):

In addition to the courses listed above, students should consult an academic advisor to plan the

remaining required elective courses.

Students obtain at least six units incourses offered bythe Faculty of Science outside the

Department of Mathematics, and the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science. Courses

PHYS 100. BISC 100 and CHEM 110/111 cannot be used to satisfy this requirement. Students

will alsoobtain at leastsix units in Faculty ofArts and Social Sciences courses. (The two required

CMPT courses and the Faculty ofArts and Social Sciences six-unit requirement fulfill the Faculty

ofScience requirement thatstudents complete 12units from outside the Faculty ofScience.)

II

Operations Research Major and Honours Programs

A Delete IAT103W Design Communication and Collaboration from the OR Major

and Honors Lower Division Core Requirements

Justification:

IAT103W was initially included in the OR program, years before development of

MATH 208W Introduction to Operations Research. Both courses are currently required for the

major and honours programs. MATH 208W fulfills the required lower division writing component

and supersedes IAT 103W. Students do not find the course IAT 103W useful for the OR

programs.

From (current description - Maior and Honours Programs are the same):

B Revision to Upper Division requirements for Operations Research Major and

Honours programs

Justification:

Change 1:

Students have scheduling problems to take allcourses required from the first 8

courses in the original requirementforthe OR majorprogram, and from the first 9 courses inthe

original requirementforthe honours program. We slightly weakened the requirement, which

should accommodate most students.

Change 2:

Statistics is no longer offering STAT 400, as per SCUS Document#12-21. As

suitable replacements, they offer either STAT 340or STAT 475. thus implementing them in the

revisions below.

Change 3:

Clarification on selection of 400 level courses from Table III.

Upper Division Requirements

Students will complete a minimum of 34 units, including all of

This is primarily a scheduling problem. MATH 308 was prerequisite to ensure students did not take MATH 348 too early. There is

some discussion of optimization in MATH 348, so MATH 308 as a co-requisite will be appropriate. The simplex method, main

topic of MATH 308, is not a required topic in 348.
