The Science Program prepares students for university studies in pure, applied and health sciences, so that they may pursue a career in areas such as science, engineering or medicine. The Program is unique in that students can choose from a list of science option courses, designed to meet a variety of individual interests and university requirements. Integrative projects aim to encourage creativity and an interest in learning along with good research methods. Science workshops, based on the principle of peer tutoring, are an important part of student learning. Members of the teaching staff help students achieve their goals through the Program activities and through their availability for help outside the classroom.

Programming and Analysis Tools for Science (420-SN1-LE)

The focus of this course is to explore how existing computer technologies can be applied to natural sciences. Designed for students without specific computing knowledge, this course will introduce programming concepts, as well as expose students to a spreadsheet program. The students will then use these tools to acquire, extract, analyze, and report scientific information.

This course is mandatory for all profiles. It constitutes a prerequisite for the following courses: Experimental Physics, Integrative Project in Science. It is also a corequisite for Astronomy and Astrophysics.

General Biology II (101-BFC-05) Winter 2024

General Biology II emphasizes the relationship between the structure and function of living organisms, and how the resulting complex cellular processes contribute to the maintenance of homeostasis. The regulation and integration of these processes at both the cellular and whole organism level will be examined.
