HIST 204 Abridged Course Text
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

This textbook introduces aspects of the history of Canada since Confederation. “Canada” in this context includes Newfoundland and all the other parts that come to be aggregated into the Dominion after 1867. Much of this text follows thematic lines. Each chapter moves chronologically but with alternative narratives in mind. What Aboriginal accounts must we place in the foreground? Which structures (economic or social) determine the range of choices available to human agents of history? What environmental questions need to be raised to gain a more complete understanding of choices made in the past and their ramifications?

Introduction to Drafting and AutoCAD 2D

Rating
0.0 stars

The AutoCAD 2D eBook was written as a tool to guide and teach you to master AutoCAD. No two students learn at the same pace, therefore the eBook was written with competency-based modules. The competency-based modules are bite-size pieces that allow you to work at your own pace. They can be used to learn by distance education, correspondence, online, instructor-lead classes, or by individuals teaching themselves to use AutoCAD in their own home or office.

Marine Propulsion Plant Simulator

The primary purpose of this project was to design and develop simulator lab exercises (SIM LABS) that could be used as ancillary resources for all Propulsion plant simulator courses as well as Engineering knowledge courses. Propulsion plant simulator course Instructors have limited time to lecture on the basic concepts of engineering and yet have to offer practical operational skills to our students, so having many pre-programmed SIM LABS which students can load and work on their own time would help them to practice and enhance their understanding of the systems and prepare them to handle various malfunctions in the plant in a timely and safe manner

The Mission, the Message, and the Medium
Only Sharing Permitted
CC BY-ND
Rating
0.0 stars

We live in an increasingly complex, fast-paced, and volatile world. The stakes have never been higher, and it is no longer enough for scientists to throw information into the public sphere and hope that someone is able to understand and apply it. Indeed, it is now clear that scientists have a moral obligation to spend as much time, thought, and effort in the communication of their knowledge products as they do in the generation of the knowledge itself. If scientific voices are to be heard above the din, and, more importantly, used for personal, public, and political decision-making, then efficient and effective communication is essential. However, science communication, and particularly the communication of risk in the scientific context, is difficult to do well, especially without the appropriate training. This textbook covers many of the principles of science communication, as well as the theory and practice of risk communication, specifically. The content is divided into three main sections: 1) the ‘mission’ (why you are communicating), 2) the ‘message’ (what you are communicating), and 3) the ‘medium’ (how you are communicating). We have tried to include enough diversity of ideas to give you something to ‘chew on’ regardless of your background, education, or experience in communication. However, the textbook is, and will always be, a work in progress. It will expand and mature each year as we continue our communication journey, learning from our students and the world around us.

Rating
0.0 stars

This Student Lab Manual outlines, in a step-by-step fashion, the complete process of your team research project. You will be given class time each week to meet as a team and to work on each stage of your research project. Each lab builds on the work completed in the prior lab. For example, it is necessary to complete Lab 1 before moving on to Lab 2. The due date for each team lab is indicated in the course outline. After submitting a lab (one per team, unless otherwise marked as an Individual Assignment), you will receive feedback on Canvas from one of the course co-instructors. Your team should use this feedback when completing the next lab. In other words, use the feedback from Lab 1 when completing Lab 2. Your co-instructor will help you throughout the term on your project. They are there to guide you and are happy to do so!
