Re: Changing course acronym from KIN to BPK
To the members of the SCUS,
MOTION:
The Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology is requesting a change in our
course acronym from KIN to BPK for all of our courses.
RATIONALE:
The department changed its name from Kinesiology to Biomedical Physiology and
Kinesiology several years ago. The rationale for changing our course acronym is that it
will make our course names consistent with the new name of the Department.
A motion to make this change was passed at our departmental meeting held Thursday,
November 15, 2012.
Attached is a list of our undergraduate courses with the required editorial changes noted.
Sincerely,
Ryan Dill

Proposal
Directed study and research leading to an Honors thesis proposal (BPK (or KIN)
KIN459/PSYC 459). Prerequisite: 90 units, including PSYC 301 with a minimum
grade of B and permission of the Chair of the Behavioral Neuroscience
Coordinating Committee. This course is identical to PSYC 457 and students may
not take both courses for credit.
BPKKIN 459-9 Behavioral Neuroscience Undergraduate Honors Thesis
A written thesis based on research previously proposed in BPK (or KIN) KIN
457/PSYC 457. Prerequisite: a minimum grade of B in BPK (or KIN) KIN
457/PSYC 457. This course is identical to PSYC 459 and students may not take
both courses for credit. Corequisite: must be enrolled in the Honors Program of
the B.Sc. in Behavioral Neuroscience.
BPKKIN 461-3 Physiological Aspects of Aging
Designed for those who require a serious but fairly broad discussion of specific
physiological aspects of aging. The overall emphasis is on humans and other
mammalian species and the varieties of aging changes they manifest.
Prerequisite: BPK (or KIN) KIN-105 or 205, 142 and 90 units.
BPKKIN 481-3 Musculoskeletal Disorders
Considers the prevalence, distribution, risk factors, mechanisms, management
and prevention of disorders of muscle, connective tissue, joint, and bone. Covers
tendonitis, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and other overuse injuries from work
and sport; whiplash-associated disorders; arthritis; osteoporosis; chronic pain;
fibromyalgia. Prerequisite: BPK (or KIN) KIN 201 and 326.
BPKKIN 484-3 Altitude and Aerospace Physiology
The theme of this course is human physiology in environments of decreased
atmospheric pressure, high G-force, and weightlessness. The course will deal
with acute and chronic adaptations to these environments as well as life support
systems and 'countermeasures'developed to expand the envelope of human
performance. Developments of breathing apparatus and G-suits for high
performance aircraft will be examined as they relate to solving the physiological
problems of exposure to these environments. Effects of short and extended
periods of weightlessness on cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, musculo-skeletal,
neural, hormonal and vestibular systems will be explored. Prerequisite: BPK (or
KIN) KIN 305, 306. Recommended: BPK (or KIN) KIN 407. Quantitative.
BPKKIN 488-3 Ergonomics Laboratory
A project based laboratory course that applies theoretical knowledge to industrial
situations. Instruction will be provided in proposal development, evaluation
techniques, and report writing. Students will complete projects in human-machine
interaction, occupational ergonomics, and industrial design. Prerequisite:
KIN
180W and KIN 380 plus any two of the following: BPK (or KIN) KIN 381, 382, 481,
IAT 333, IAT 334, IAT 432, or BPK (or KIN) KIN 496*, 498*, 497* (*if ergonomics
related).
BPKKIN 496-3 Directed Study I
Directed reading and literature research on topics selected in consultation with
the supervising instructor. This course may not be repeated for additional credit.
A
short proposal of the project, approved by the course supervisor, must be
submitted for approval to the chair of the undergraduate program committee by
the end of the first week of classes of the term. Prerequisite: Permission from the
chair of the undergraduate program committee. Usually upper level standing with
at least 75 units in the Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology program will be
required.
BPKKIN 497-3 Undergraduate Honors Thesis Proposal
Supervised directed study and research leading to the development of a formal
undergraduate thesis proposal for work to be conducted in KIN-BPK 499. The
activity in KIN-BPK497 may be augmented by other course work and a pilot
study. In
cases where an industrial/community partner is involved in the
development of a project, the work need not be conducted at Simon Fraser
University and may be completed external to SFU. Supervision of KIN-BPK 497
will be conducted by a suitable faculty member, but may be co-supervised by an
industrial/community partner. Supervisor(s) must be approved by
the
undergraduate program committee. The plan of activities for each KIN-BPK 497
should be submitted to the chair of the undergraduate program committee for
approval one month prior to the term in which the course will be taken.
Prerequisite: only students in the honors program may enrol for KIN-BPK 497; 90
units, STAT 201, and permission of
the chair of the undergraduate program
committee.
BPKKIN 498-3 Directed Study II
Directed study and research selected in consultation with the supervising
instructor. A
short proposal of the project approved by the course supervisor,
must be submitted for approval to the chair of the undergraduate program
committee by the end of the first week of
classes of the term. Prerequisite: STAT
201 and permission from the chair of the undergraduate program committee.
Usually upper level standing with at least 75 units in the Biomedical Physiology
and Kinesiology program will be required.
BPKKIN 499-12 Undergraduate Honors Thesis
A thesis based on research previously proposed in BPK (or KIN) KIN 497.
Formal approval of the research topic is given by attaining a minimum grade of B
in BPK (or KIN) KIN497. Regulations regarding the locale of the work,
supervision and other arrangements, follow those for BPK (or KIN) KIN-497. The
written thesis should be submitted to the chair of the undergraduate program
committee by the last day of exams of the term. The thesis will also be presented
orally as a seminar in an open forum at the end of the term. Prerequisite: BPK (or
KIN) KIN 497. Only students in the honors program may enrol for KIN-BPK 499.
A
student may enrol for one other course concurrently with KIN-BPK 499 with
permission from the faculty supervisor for KIN-BPK 499.
