Complementary Studies Elective 4/-/1/0.50PPaarrtt 11 ooff tthhee 22 PPaarrtt EEnnttrreepprreenneeuurrsshhiipp PPrrooggrraammThe age of enterprise has arrived. Strategic use of technology inall sorts of businesses makes the difference between success andfailure for these firms. Wealth creation is a real option for manyand the business atmosphere is ready for you! Increasingly, peo-ple are seeing the advantages of doing their own thing, in theirown way, in their own time. Entrepreneurs can control their ownlives, structure their own progress and be accountable for theirown success - they can fail, but they can not be fired! After all,engineers are the most capable people to be in the forefront ofthis drive to the business life of the next century.

This course is the first of a series of two dealing with entre-preneurship and management of a small company. It is intendedthat the student would continue to take the follow up courseAPS432 as s/he progresses toward the engineering degree.Therefore, it is advisable that the descriptions of both courses bestudied prior to deciding to take this one.

This is a limited enrolment course. If the number of stu-dents electing to take the course exceeds the class size limit,selection of the final group will be made on the basis of the"Entrepreneur's Test". There will be a certificate awarded uponthe successful completion of both courses attesting to the factthat the student has passed this Entrepreneurial Course Series atthe University of Toronto.

The course is based on real life issues, not theoretical devel-opments or untried options. Topics covered include: Who is anentrepreneur; Canadian business environment; Acquisitions;Different business types (retail, wholesale, manufacturing, andservices); Franchising; Human resources, Leadership, Businesslaw; and many others. Several visitors are invited to provide thestudent with the opportunity to meet real entrepreneurs. There

will be several assignments and a session project. It should benoted that the 5 hours per week would all be used for whateveris needed at the time, so tutorials will not normally happen as thecalendar indicates them.

Complementary Studies Elective 4/-/1/0.50PPaarrtt 22 ooff tthhee 22 PPaarrtt EEnnttrreepprreenneeuurrsshhiipp PPrrooggrraammThis is part two of the Entrepreneurship course series. The studentconsidering taking this course would typically plan to pursue acareer in small business started by him/herself, or in a familyenterprise. The skills acquired, however, are very useful in anybusiness where a graduate might end up in his/her career, with-out the need for actually being an entrepreneur.

Our approach to teaching is based on real-life businessexperiences and many years of successful practice of "what wepreach". The course contains very little theoretical work or aca-demic approaches. It is designed to familiarise you with the kindsof opportunities (problems) likely to be encountered in an entre-preneurial career. If you really want this lifestyle and are preparedto work hard, we will provide you with the practical knowledgeand technical skills required to pursue this kind of career. Topicscovered in this course include: Marketing and Sales; Legal issues;Financing the business; Accounting for small business; theBusiness Plan and many other issues. Note that the course mate-rial may be adjusted between the two courses as required. Werecognize the value of communication skills in both the classroomand in project reports. In fact, we require that you learn how topresent yourself in a business-like manner.

As and when appropriate, outside visitors from the businesscommunity will join in and contribute to the class discussions. Thecourse deals with practical concepts, actual past and currentevents and is presented from the point of view of someone whohas "done it all". This means that what you hear is the real stuff.There will be several assignments and a session project. It shouldbe noted that the 5 hours per week would all be used for what-ever is needed at the time, so tutorials will not normally happenas the calendar indicates them.

CHE249H1FEngineering Economic Analysis

II-AECHEBASC, AECHEBASCE 3/-/1/0.50Engineering analysis and design are not ends in themselves, butthey are a means for satisfying human wants. Thus, engineeringhas two concerns: the materials used and forces and laws ofnature, and the needs of people. Because of resource constraintsat all levels, engineering must be closely associated with eco-nomics. It is essential that engineering proposals be evaluated interms of worth and cost before they are undertaken. In thiscourse we emphasize that an essential prerequisite of a success-ful engineering application is economic feasibility. Hence, invest-ment proposals are evaluated in terms of economic cost concepts,including break even analysis, cost estimation and time value ofmoney. Effective interest rates, inflation and deflation, depreci-ation and income tax all affect the viability of an investment.

PHL193H1 S Science and Social Issues

I-AEESCBASC 2/-/1/0.50This course introduces the students to issues stemming from ourincreasing dependence on and use of science. It examines suchquestions as: the nature of scientific knowledge, the distinctionbetween science and pseudo-science, the practice of science,environmental concerns arising from scientific practice and thelimits of science.

The aims of the course are to develop student's ability tothink critically on difficult issues, to evaluate evidence and argu-ment and to contribute to informed debate on the role of sciencein our society.

PHL255H1 FScience and Pseudo-Science

Humanities/Social Science Elective 3/-/-/0.50Some people take Jean Dixon and other astrologers seriously,many reject their claims as pseudo-science. Some people believethat one can give scientific evidence to support the claim thatspecies of living things were specially created not too many yearsago by a supernatural Being, many reject this claim as pseudo-scientific. Some people think that human civilization must haveoriginated from a visit by extra-terrestrial beings, many reject thisclaim as pseudo-scientific. What does it mean to claim that theseare pseudo-scientific claims? What does it mean to say that otherclaims are genuinely scientific? This course will proceed mainly bylectures and class discussion, and will attempt to establish crite-ria demarcating science from pseudo-science. Topics to be coveredinclude the nature of scientific explanations and theories, thenature of scientific evidence, the method of experiment, the struc-ture of statistical inference.

PHL273H1 FEnvironmental Ethics

Humanities/Social Science Elective 3/-/-/0.50This course will be devoted to a critical examination of the princi-pal frameworks purporting to provide an adequate environmentalethic, including the following: anthropocentrism; the marketmodel; cost-benefit analysis; animal liberation; biocentrism; eco-holism; the land ethic; deep ecology; ecofeminism. Our aim willnot be to decide which framework is best, but instead to use philo-sophical methods to identify the crucial issues at stake and toassess the strengths and weaknesses of the various competingoptions. Our comparative evaluation of the frameworks will beinformed by attention to their implications for some importantenvironmental issues, such as wilderness preservation; the protec-tion of endangered species; the choice of energy technologies;global climate change; and the use of animals for human benefit.

PHL291H1 SEngineering and Ethics

Humanities/Social Science Elective 2/-/1/0.50This course is designed to help engineering students appreciateand understand ethical issues that may arise throughout theircareers. We will examine basic principles and distinctions inethics as well as their applications to engineering and some busi-ness issues. The code of ethics of the Association of ProfessionalEngineers of Ontario will also be examined.

The course will begin with an overview of three major typesof ethical theories (utilitarianism, deontologism, and virtueethics). The next step will be to apply ethical theories to compli-cated case studies. Further in the course, these theories will beapplied to different moral issues in business and engineering.The emphasis of the assignments will be on students' own argu-mentation and ability to apply theories to the problems at hand.
