WRITING THREE OR MORE EXAMS ON THE SAME DAY

A student scheduled to write three invigilated final examinations in one calendar day, or three or more final

examinations in consecutive time slots over a 24-hour period, may apply to have one examination rescheduled on an

alternate examination day. The determination of which examination shall be rescheduled and the date of the alternate

examination (may be the last possible day of the examination period) shall be made by the Registrar. Please download

the appropriate form from http://www.uwindsor.ca/registrar and submit to the Office of the Registrar.

EXAM CONFLICTS DUE TO OBSERVANCE OF RELIGIOUS HOLY DAYS.

Students who are unable to write a final examination(s) during the regularly scheduled time slot because of a conflict

with religious conviction must apply for the alternative examination(s) in the course(s) involved by the end of the

normal add/drop period for the particular session. The Registrar's Office will schedule the alternative examination(s) for

those students in another slot(s) within the regular examination period. Please download the appropriate form from

http://www.uwindsor.ca/registrar and submit to the Office of the Registrar.

Circadian rhythms are biological processes that occur every 24 hours. Nearly all organisms have evolved

circadian rhythms, because the Earth rotates with a 24 hour period and exposes its surface to constant

cycles of sunlight. However, circadian rhythms are not simply a response to light, they are subject to the

workings of a molecular clock that fundamentally influences the health and physiology of living things. The

purpose of this course is to develop a knowledge of the core concepts in circadian biology. We will start at

the beginning, with the early experiments that demonstrated that plants and animals have intrinsic circadian

systems, and the behavioral genetics experiments that later confirmed the existence of a molecular clock.

The course will encompass a very broad range of organisms, from cyanobacteria, to fungi, to plants, to

animals. Introductory and closing lectures will be provided by the instructor, and students will take turns to

lead presentations on assigned topics during the semester. The course material will be in the form of

published manuscripts in this field. Students are expected to read these in advance and contribute to class

discussion. A final paper will be assigned at the end of the semester.

This course combines materials from existing MBA accounting courses (76-503 & 76-512). The course

covers the fundamental principles of financial management of business enterprises within the global

financial environment. It also includes introduction to financial analysis, planning and models with

applications new ventures and corporations. There will also be specific focus on the entrepreneurial

process, start-up finance, venture math, business valuation methods and new venture fundraising

techniques.

In this course, students learn about smart cities and their relation with sustainable and resilient cities. They

are presented with good practices of smart cities around the world and the state- of-the-art technologies that

were used. They will see a city as a complex system and learn about two approaches of looking at complex

issues including system thinking and SWOT analysis. Smart grids, transportation networks, urban

agriculture, cyber security, and the advancement of ICT and their applications in smart cities will be

discussed. They will be encouraged to select a city problem, find solutions, design scenarios or prototype

their inventions as their assignment.

discrete problems with multiple maxima or minima without or with constraints. The course covers

optimization algorithms selected from genetic algorithm, differential evolution, particle swarm

optimization, simulated annealing, ant colony optimization, cultural algorithm, and other emerging

This course addresses fluid dynamic phenomena of interest in internal flows. Flows in air-breathing

propulsion systems, turbomachines, and other internal flows are discussed. The concepts and their

applications have broad scope in a variety of fluid flow devices. The emphasis is on the fluid mechanic

principles that govern the behaviour of such devices. A high level of rigorousness is employed.

Topics include rotational flows which are often three-dimensional, and sometimes unsteady. The course

will mainly focus on developing advanced ways of thinking about fluid motion as a gateway to physical

insight into the behaviour of complex flows. Simplified, conceptually rigorous modelling is used as much

as possible. The details of complex flows are best determined computationally and experimentally, and the

aim of this course is to provide an increased capability to interpret computational and experimental results.

design parameters of a topologically complex computational domain is of paramount significance in the

product design and development. This course is aimed at establishing the computational requirement and

applying the fundamental aspects of the numerical modeling to a variety of systems in automobile. This

course will help student analyze the performance of components and establish the interdependencies of

various systems in an automobile and single out the significance of one system over the other.

This semi-structured seminar will provide opportunities to explore selected theoretical and practical issues

pertaining to ethics in everyday nursing practice and within the broader health care sector. The course will

begin with a brief introduction to the core principles of moral philosophy, as they relate to nursing and

health care ethics. Through the use of focused reading of selected texts and case studies, informal

discussion and formal writing, students will examine ethical questions and proposed solutions relevant to a

variety of contemporary health care issues and settings. Effective organizational structures and processed

that foster ethical nursing practice and leadership will also be explored.
