Course Description
This course introduces students to the theories and practical skills of leading and managing change in contemporary organizations reflective of operating in an internal or external consultative capacity. It explores the hard (structure and strategy) and soft (people) skills needed to lead the change process from the initial consultative diagnostic through to the design of interventions to inform and guide organizations to their optimal operative changed state. Emphasis is placed on learning the skills needed to operate within a leader/manager role during change and/or engage with organizations on a consultative basis through the change process. Examples of these include identifying the forces and recognizing the need for change, using diagnostic models, designing interventions which facilitate change, and monitoring systems for long term effectiveness. The course draws on past and current research as well as current expert experience of implementing change.

Course Description
This course introduces European history during the Middle Ages, from the fall of Rome in the 5th century to the Renaissance of the later 14th and 15th centuries. The Middle Ages, once dismissed as a time of stagnation and superstition, is now regarded as an exciting period of ferment, innovation, and creativity. The social, political, and cultural foundations of modern Europe were established in the Middle Ages, and the modern era cannot be understood without an awareness of this formative millennium. But equally, the study of the Middle Ages often means encountering the strange and unfamiliar, and this too is an essential part of being a historian. This course studies the period by focusing on a range of significant events which illustrate some of the most important developments of the period. These include the sack of Rome by barbarians, the influence of the Irish on the conversion of Europe to Christianity, the trial of Joan of Arc, and Columbus's "discovery" of America.

Course Description
This course provides an opportunity for students to engage with central ideas and thinking in gender and feminist theory including gender, power, patriarchy, oppression, and identity. Development of concepts of gender in contemporary gender and social theory that challenge the traditional gender/sex binary are explored. The important relation between theory and practice using the body as a site of interrogations are examined and oppressive social identity systems including sexism, racism, and classism are challenged. Regulation of the body, sexualities, changing body images, issues of bodily integrity, gender-based violence, consent, and agency are explored using key feminist and gender theory texts. To think through core concepts, questions are asked around a range of themes such as sexual reproduction and reproductive justice, care, migration, work, and privilege. Gendered hierarchies linked to material and structural disadvantage are explored in a global context and different patriarchal systems are analyzed that have disadvantaged women and enforced rigid gender roles that confine and restrict both women and men.

Course Description
This course introduces the concept of mathematical and analytics modeling in decision problems, and surveys some of the major mathematical models and solution techniques. Students learn how to conceptualize complex business problems and transform them into a set of equations (models) that describe the problem. Once modeled, the problems can be solved using optimization techniques such as linear or mixed integer programming. Students are introduced to the use of computer packages to implement models for sample problems and assignments. The principles of active learning guide the face-to-face contact sessions with students engaging in hands-on mathematical modeling exercises.

Course Description
This course introduces the foundational and applied concepts of probability and statistical modelling for data science in engineering. Strong emphasis is placed on using the material covered to solve engineering problems, with a focus on the R statistical computing software. The main sections of the course are descriptive statistics; laws of probability; random variables; statistical inference; simple linear regression; and statistical methods for quality control. In addition, students are required to complete a sequence of computer laboratory sessions using the R software package. Students learn to perform exploratory data analyses using graphical and numerical descriptive statistics, calculate probabilities and simulate from common probability distributions, calculate confidence intervals and perform hypothesis tests, and fit linear regression models.

Course Description
This course explores story, reading, and engagement with literature in the lives of young people. It is open to students from all disciplinary backgrounds. As the young adult fiction genre attracts more and more critical commentary, the course considers the literary text as a potent source of personal, philosophical, and educational meaning for young people and adults - as a potential locus for growth, realization, and emancipation. Engaging with an international scope of texts, including graphic novels and picture books, students consider educating through literature for literacy and for life. Students explore the responsibility of the text, the young reader, and the engaged adult, from pre-verbal through pre-literate to the formal educational relationship.

Course Description
This course deepens and broadens the students' understanding of thermodynamic foundations and describes and analyzes common engineering components and power-generation cycles. The course begins with a review of the 1st Law of Thermodynamics and an introduction to the 2nd Law that emphasizes the distinction between heat and work. These laws are then applied to the analysis of Otto, Diesel, Brayton-Joule, and Rankine cycle heat engines, representative of petrol, diesel, jet engines, and steam-powered electricity generation plants respectively. The course then introduces the combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant. The concept of exergy is introduced and used to derive 2nd Law efficiency metrics for components (e.g. nozzles, diffuses, and compressors) and cycles. The course concludes with a brief look at the thermodynamics of gas mixtures and of combustion. In addition to the formal lectures, students each complete three laboratory practicals, related to engine operation, compression processes, and refrigeration. These laboratory sessions deepen the students' engagement with the subject, develop their ability to work as a team, improve their engineering communication skills, and enhance their capacity to conduct experiments and to analyze and interpret data.
