IMB472 - Industrial Microbiology

This subject examines various industrial applications of microbiology. The role of microbes in the production of foods, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals is examined as well as the role of microbes in various industrial processes including bioremediation and waste management. Methods used to monitor and control microbial contamination in an industrial environment are also examined. Laboratory exercises include the evaluation of disinfectant effectiveness and antibiotic potency as well as methods used to identify and quantitate microbes associated with water, air, surfaces, raw materials and finished products. Testing procedures and their interpretation follow regulatory specifications outlined in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and the Canadian Food and Drugs Act.

IOC472 - Analytical Chemistry

This is a one-semester, laboratory-oriented subject intended to introduce students to selected techniques of chemical analysis that are widely used in the industry:

  • UV-Vis spectrophotometry
  • Classical column chromatography (normal phase)
  • High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (reversed phase)
  • Gas Chromatography
The theoretical lectures provide a basic understanding of the analytical procedures. The laboratory classes provide hands-on training for the analytical techniques presented in the theoretical course and familiarize the student with the application of the respective techniques in a regulated industrial environment. To accomplish the above, the students must be able to combine their prior knowledge of chemistry and mathematics with the new terms and concepts taught in this course.

ITM472 - Instrumental Methods

This subject provides students with an overview of common spectrophotometric instruments. Topics covered include colorimetry, ultraviolet, visible and infrared region spectrophotometry, fluorimetry, atomic adsorption spectrophotometry, and atomic emission spectrophotometry (if time permits). The theory of these instrumental methods will be supported by proper interpretation of analytical data and mathematical techniques for preparing standards and samples.

GEN001 - General Education Option

According to the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities, ?the purpose of General Education in the Ontario college system is to contribute to the development of citizens who are conscious of the diversity, complexity, and richness of the human experience; who are able to establish meaning through this consciousness; and, who, as a result, are able to contribute thoughtfully, creatively, and positively to the society in which they live and work. General Education strengthens students' generic skills, such as critical analysis, problem solving, and communication, in the context of an exploration of topics with broad-based personal and / or societal importance?. Please contact the School of English and Liberal Studies at your campus to find out more about the variety of General Education courses from which you can choose.
