CEM1001H	The Challenges of Urban Policy-Making The Challenges of Urban Policy-Making Addressing societal and engineering challenges in the 21st century requires engineers to think holistically about the systems we design and build. Public policy often dictates what engineering projects are commissioned and what values are being optimized for in engineering practice (e.g. cost, beauty, environment, safety, equity). However, too few engineers understand the drivers of public policy, how public policy is developed, and the role it plays in engineering. Similarly, too few policy makers understand the applied science of engineering. The interplay between policy and civil engineering is particularly acute in the urban environment, where civil engineering works (transportation, housing, water services, libraries, etc.) are concentrated and where, in Canada, the public policies of three levels of government influence engineering practice. This seminar course challenges engineers to think about how public policy is made and how it guides the practice of engineering both directly and indirectly. Particular focus is placed on urban policy and urban engineering. The first month of the course will deal with the process of urban policy making examining how issues emerge, how important ideas are framed, priorities are established, and agendas are set and managed. Factors to be considered include the role of bureaucratic and political actors, organized interests and non-governmental groups, the importance and influence of networks, and the potential for new models and options for the engagement of stakeholders and citizens at large. The second and third month of the course will focus on the relationship between public policy and the practice of civil engineering. The focus of the course will be to examine the myriad ways public policy and priorities intersect with the development of the built environment. The relationship between public policy and engineering in housing, transport, energy and sustainability will be discussed. The focus of the course will be on Canadian cities with examples from cities located elsewhere in the high-income world; examples and experiences from other parts of the world are welcomed.

CIV1399H LEC0101	Special Studies in Civil Engineering - Large Scale Infrastructure and Sustainability Special Studies in Civil Engineering - Large Scale Infrastructure and Sustainability The next 15 years will see major changes in the global infrastructure system; in this time US$90 Trillion dollars will be spent on infrastructure. To meet local, national and international sustainability goals this next generation of infrastructure must be planned, designed and built in new ways. Large scale infrastructure projects have impacts well beyond their stated primary purpose: they consume significant amounts of natural resources and, once built, change how we live, work and move. As key players in planning, designing, constructing and commissioning large infrastructure projects, engineers have a special responsibility to understand the myriad ways infrastructure interacts with our natural and social systems. This course will explore what sustainability means in the context of infrastructure development, examine infrastructure needs and sustainability at the global and project scale, and provide students will skills and techniques to impact infrastructure sustainability in their future work. At the end of this course, students will be able to think critically about the wider impacts of large scale infrastructure projects and use this knowledge alongside their technical engineering skills to develop better outcomes. Special studies courses are offered when a professor is available to instruct on a new or unusual topic. Each topic offered constitutes one normal half-course.

CIV1429H	Advanced Rock Engineering: Fractured Rock Masses Advanced Rock Engineering: Fractured Rock Masses Rock masses can be defined as made of intact rock blocks and discontinuities (joints, faults, etcâ€¦). It is the presence of those weak features that determine the overall hydro-mechanical response of the rock mass that engineers observe in the field. Therefore, to correctly engineer any structure in rock, we cannot relay only on the mechanical properties of the intact rock, but we need to be able to properly understand the role that fractures play on the overall behaviour that we observe, and how to account for them during the different phases of the rock engineering design. This course will try to address this specific issue by presenting the latest scientific discoveries and engineering approaches in the field. It will also present students with innovative methodologies for the quantification of fracture shear strength, rock mass mapping, and rock mass modeling tools such as the Combined Finite-Discrete Element Method for simulating damage and fracture in geomaterials.

Each topic offered constitutes one normal half-course. Special studies course codes may be taken more than once provided that the topic is different each time. Rock Fracture Dynamics and Induced Seismicity: Experimental Methods Fractures play a major role in the strength and behaviour of materials at all scales from global earthquakes in rock to grain scale microcracks within individual crystals. Mechanically, cracks make materials more compliant and influence fluid flow. A key consequence of fractures (both density and alignment) is their significant influence upon elastic wave velocity and the development of anisotropy in materials. This course will focus on the experimental imaging of microcracks and fractures in rock and rock like materials using a combination of rock-mechanical and geophysical methods. Induced Seismicity is both a monitoring tool and a hazard and its causes and utilization for engineering the subsurface will be analyzed. Case studies of hydraulic fracturing, waste water injection, deep geological disposal of radioactive waste and mining- induced seismicity will be studied. The lectures will provide a framework for the geophysical interpretation of fractured materials and induced seismicity. The main focus of the course will be to conduct laboratory-controlled experiments to measure the effect of fractures on the strength and behavior of rock, under simulated earth-like and engineering conditions and interpret the results.

MIN540H	Borehole Geophysics for Engineers and Mineral Geoscientists Borehole Geophysics for Engineers and Mineral Geoscientists The process of wireline logging of boreholes for mineral, hydrocarbon and groundwater exploration, geotechnical and environmental studies involve a number of measurement devices, or sondes. Some of these are passive measurement devices; others exert some influence over the rock formation being traversed. Their measurements are transmitted to the surface by means of wire line. Logging applications include the identification of geological environment, reservoir fluid contact location, fracture detection, estimate of hydrocarbon or water in place, determination of water salinity, reservoir pressure determination, porosity/pore size distribution determination, and reservoir fluid movement monitoring.
