2. Executive Summary

Proposed Program Title:

Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Chemistry - specialization in Biological Chemistry

Proposed Credential Nomenclature:

B.Sc. (Honours) in Chemistry

Disciplines/Fields of Study:

Biological Chemistry Is a work experience/work placement term required for degree completion?

Work experience is not required for degree completion, but work placements will be facilitated for interested students through the University's Career and Employment Services Office. Anticipated Program Start Date: First-year entry in September 2006. Given sufficient demand and background preparation, students may enter the second year of the program in September 2006. Description of the Proposed Program and Program Strengths

The Faculty of Science proposes the addition of a Biological Chemistry specialization within the Honours BSc in Chemistry program. The program map for the proposed specialization is provided in Section 3. The program is based on courses in the existing Chemistry (Honours) program, and consists of an integrated and focused combination of existing Chemistry and Biology (Pharmaceutical Biotechnology specialization) courses, with the addition of 3 new courses in the organic/biological chemistry area (Structure Determination of Organic Molecules: CHEM3220U; Bio-Organic Chemistry: CHEM 4110U; and Advanced Topics in Biological Chemistry: CHEM4120U), along with the courses Cell Biology: BIOL2030U; Genetics and Molecular Biology: BIOL2020U; Laboratory Methods in Molecular Biology: BIOL3010U; and Advanced Biochemistry: BIOL4070U. The proposed specialization in the B.Sc. (Honours) Chemistry program provides an integrated basic grounding in science fundamental to biological process at the molecular level, providing an attractive program for students wishing to proceed into the biotechnology industry, and into post-degree studies in chemistry, biology, pharmacy, dentistry, or medicine. Like all the existing programs in Science (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics), it has a common first year core of courses in calculus, biology, chemistry, and physics, providing a sound and broad foundation in basic areas of science. The specified second-year courses are the same as the core courses in the Chemistry (Honours) program, with the addition of specified cell biology and genetics and molecular



biology courses in the proposed specialization. This common core provides flexibility for students in deciding upon their ultimate specialization. Admission, promotion and graduation requirements are exactly the same as those in place for the Chemistry (Honours) program. Rationale for introduction of new specialization

The biotechnology industry plays a key role in the economy of the Greater Toronto Area, and its success depends on access to local, highly qualified personnel. UOIT is a market-orientated university, and as advances in the biotechnology industry rely heavily on innovations in chemistry, it is a natural focus for specialization. The study of the basic and applied aspects of chemistry, under the umbrella of the science of biotechnology, will provide students with the training necessary to support this important industry, and with the skills necessary for further success in the chemical and medical sciences. Program Learning Outcomes and Curriculum Design

Most attributes of the original chemistry program are retained, including program learning outcomes, sequencing, course content and the maintenance of appropriate degree level standards. In order to cover the breadth of biological sciences courses required for a specialization in Biological Chemistry, the following 4000-level Chemistry (Honours) courses were replaced by biological and specialist chemistry courses: CHEM 4010U Industrial Chemistry, CHEM 4040U Physical Chemistry, CHEM 4060U Molecular Spectroscopy, and CHEM 4050U Environmental Chemistry. These courses remain available as science electives. Additional program learning outcome specific to this area of specialization include:

• Appreciate and evaluate the importance of new and emerging technologies in biological sciences;

• Understand the structural and functional properties of cells, genetics and molecular biology;

• Obtain technical skills used in the construction of recombinant DNA molecules and the construction of transgenic organisms;

• Obtain a systems-orientated, integrated understanding of biochemical structure, function and metabolism; and

• Understand the structure and function of biological molecules and the current research areas that intersect chemistry and biology, such as protein engineering, enzymatic synthesis, biotransformation, and bio-inorganic chemistry.

Only three of the courses in the proposed program are new (Structure Determination of Organic Molecules (common with the proposed Pharmaceutical Chemistry specialization), Bio-Organic Chemistry, and Advanced Topics in Biological Chemistry; outlines for these new courses are provided in Section 11 of this submission.



Capacity to Deliver - Resource Requirements (Human and Physical) None of the new courses required for the specialization involves laboratory components. In view of its modest resource requirements, the proposed specialization is expected to be a very cost-effective addition to the UOIT Chemistry program. Projected Enrolment and Faculty Growth

Projected steady-state enrolment is 20 students per year entering the program. Since there are only 3 new courses required for the program, the faculty resource requirements are minimal. These new courses entail the addition of the equivalent of approximately 0.75 faculty member, beginning in July, 2007. Employment Opportunities

There are many opportunities for graduates who hold an undergraduate degree in Chemistry with a specialization in Biological Chemistry, whether the students want to continue on to higher education, especially Medical School, or go directly into the workplace. Some of the options available to graduates of the proposed specialization include:

- Biotechnology industry - Research laboratories - Professional school (Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Business, Law) - Graduate School (Chemistry, Biology or related fields)

6. Program Comparisons The applicant has on file and available upon request the research undertaken to complete this section. The applicant found that there are not more than 5 similar or related existing programs offered at Ontario universities and that there are no similar or related existing programs offered at universities in other Canadian jurisdictions that could have been included in Section 6. Institution: York University Program Name and Credential: B.Sc. in Chemistry with Pharmaceutical and Biological Chemistry (Honours) stream Program Description: This is a program of study designed for students interested in Biochemistry, Bio-organic and/or Bio-Inorganic Chemistry (enzyme mechanisms, biomimetics) and/or Bioanalytical Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Chemistry or other aspects of biologically related chemistry. The program provides a solid grounding in Chemistry plus a specialized exploration of the chemistry of biologically and pharmaceutically relevant substances and processes. Thus, it provides a broader, more chemical focus than is available in other degree programs dealing with these subjects (Spec. Hon. BSc in Biochemistry, Hon. Double Major in CHEM and BIOL, or Hon. Major/Minor in CHEM and BIOL). http://www.chem.yorku.ca/ugrad/P&BC.html Similarities and Differences: York University has a Pharmaceutical and Biological Chemistry (Honours) stream with similar core chemistry content shared by both the proposed UOIT Biological Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Chemistry specializations. York’s program covers both the pharmaceutical and biological aspects of chemistry and thus is not as focused as the UOIT program which emphasizes the chemical aspects of molecular biology. As well, York’s program lacks the designated UOIT breadth courses Collaborative Leadership, and Management of the Enterprise, which are particularly relevant to the biotechnology industry. Institution: University of Guelph Program Name and Credential: B.Sc (Honours) in Biological Chemistry Program Description: This program takes advantage of Guelph's strength in the Biological Sciences whilst maintaining a strong chemistry-oriented understanding of the molecular basis for biological structure and function. Designed for students who want the excitement of the biological sciences coupled with the depth of understanding, and the wide applicability, of the physical sciences. Aimed at providing opportunities and skills for students interested in careers which cross traditional boundaries in the chemical and biological sciences, and offering the flexibility which comes with a solid understanding of chemistry, the central science.http://www.chembio.uoguelph.ca/high_school/dp_biologicalchem.htm Similarities and Differences: Guelph’s program offers a similar content to the UOIT specialization but lacks the designated UOIT breadth courses Collaborative Leadership, and Management of the Enterprise, which are particularly relevant to the biotechnology industry. UOIT’s program is focussed on integrating molecular biology and chemistry, as opposed to Guelph’s program which benefits from a larger and more diverse biological sciences programs.



Institution: McMaster University Program Name and Credential: B.Sc. Chemistry (Honours) with a Biological Specialization Program Description: The Honours Chemistry program consists of four options: a core and three specializations. The core option consists of a specified set of basic requirements but otherwise allows a wide choice of other courses (including those from outside the Faculty of Science). The opportunity is therefore available for interdisciplinary studies, possibly leading to a Minor in another subject. Alternatively, students may wish to follow one of several specializations which are more appropriate for graduate studies in Chemistry or Biochemistry. The biological specialization is recommended for students interested in pursuing the joint Biochemistry: Chemistry graduate program at McMaster University.

http://registrar.mcmaster.ca/CALENDAR/year2004/sec_447.htm Similarities and Differences: McMaster’s program offers a stronger emphasis on biochemistry than UOIT's proposed specialization in Biological Chemistry, which emphasizes chemistry and molecular biology. McMaster’s program lacks the designated UOIT breadth courses Collaborative Leadership, and Management of the Enterprise, both of which are particularly relevant to the biotechnology industry. Institution: McGill University Program Name and Credential: B.Sc. Chemistry (Honours) with a Bio-Organic specialization Program Description: The Bio-organic Option of Honours in Chemistry consists of the requirements for Honours in Chemistry with replacement of PHYS 242 by BIOL 200 and BIOL 201, and replacement of the 6 complementary credits of Chemistry at the 300 level with 6 credits chosen from the following: BIOL 202, BIOL 301, CHEM 502, MIMM 211, MIMM 314, MIMM 323, PHGY 201, PHGY 202, PHGY 209A, PHGY 210B.

http://www.chemistry.mcgill.ca/advising/inside/programs/bio.htm Similarities and Differences: McGill’s program offers a stronger emphasis on physical chemistry and mathematics than UOIT’s proposed specialization. McGill’s specialization has a reduced emphasis on molecular biology in comparison to UOIT’s specialization and lacks the designated UOIT breadth courses Collaborative Leadership, and Management of the Enterprise, which are particularly relevant to the biotechnology industry.



Institution: University of Toronto Program Name and Credential: B.Sc (Honours) in Biological Chemistry Program Description: The Department has made extensive changes to its course and program offerings in the last few years. These changes included a revision of first year courses, substantial modifications to later-year courses, the introduction of new specialist programs in Biological Chemistry, Materials Chemistry, and in Environmental Chemistry, and more flexibility for students choosing areas of specialization both within chemistry and in combination with other disciplines. For Biological Chemistry one chooses from:

First Year: BIO150Y1; CHM151Y1/(CHM138H1, CHM139H1); MAT135Y1/MAT137Y1; PHY110Y1/PHY138Y1/PHY140Y1 Second and Higher Years: 1. BCH210H1; BIO250Y1; CHM225Y1/(CHM220H1, CHM221H1), CHM238Y1, CHM247H1/CHM249H1, CHM347H1, CHM348H1, CHM379H1 2. Further 300/400-series courses in BCH or CHM, including CHM437H1, CHM447H1, CHM479H1 and other 400-level CHM courses to make a total of 13 full courses

http://www.artsandscience.utoronto.ca/ofr/calendar/prg_chm.htm Similarities and Differences: Toronto’s program is similar in content to the proposed UOIT Biological Chemistry specialization; however, it offers a broader choice of elective courses, reflecting its base in a medical school, and is designed with a higher level of flexibility that is attainable by the size of U of T. U of T’s program lacks the designated UOIT breadth courses Collaborative Leadership and Management of the Enterprise, which are particularly relevant to the biotechnology industry.

10. Mode of Delivery UOIT has a ubiquitous computing environment. We have a comprehensive laptop program that includes all students and faculty and our physical plant infrastructure has been built to enhance the use of computing. The computer network has been installed throughout all classrooms and public spaces and most areas also are accessible to the network through wireless connections. In addition to the hardware aspects of our technological infrastructure, we have a mandate to implement the use of computer and information technologies into our pedagogy. This is written into our policies and all faculty are aware of this as part of their work setting. We have also dedicated technical and pedagogical support personnel. This level of focus on the pedagogical development of the use of technology in teaching is reflected in the UOIT academic administration through the office of Associate Provost, Learning Technologies. Our commitment to pedagogical development with the use of learning technologies has implications for the mode of delivery of our programs. Enhancing Traditional Education in a Technology-Rich Hybrid Environment We are engaged in the enhancement of traditional educational delivery. In doing this, we are shifting the way that traditional education will be done. Traditional education occurs within the context of a physical campus with frequent face-to-face interaction among students and faculty. There are many aspects of traditional education that are malleable and open to change. Traditional university education has varied greatly in terms of the weight given to lectures, seminars, independent study, group work, library research, labs, apprenticeship and individual consultation. Our technology rich environment provides the possibility for a hybrid of traditional face-to-face elements along with online components.



Over the last generation in many universities there has been a drift toward a greater reliance on the lecture and lecture contact hours, partly because the lecture delivery mode accommodates great numbers with efficiency. We intend to reverse this trend. In the Faculty of Science at UOIT, we intend to continue using the lecture as one of the tools available to us. Indeed our technology infrastructure is being used to enhance the delivery of lectures with presentation packages and online resources. However, over time we intend to decrease our use of face-to-face lecture contact time. This will be done in a number of ways. Using our online infrastructure and the standardization of the laptop environment, we will shift some class time to online seminars and consultations. We will use online interaction tools to displace low interaction lecture time with high interaction online time. Of course, in our traditional education context the use of online communication tools is an elaboration of face-to-face interaction and is supplemented by informal and formal opportunities for face-to-face interaction among students and faculty. Another way that we will move away from lectures is in developing some of our pedagogy in the direction of problem and inquiry based learning. This can be done without the use of computers; however, in our standardized computer-mediated, communication rich environment we are better able to coordinate student work, individually and in groups, and support their explorations when they are outside of the classroom. A third way that we will move away from lectures is through the use of the laptop as a movable lab. In some courses we will be increasing our lab work using analytical programs since we will not have to ration student access to these programs. Of course, another way that we will move away from face-to-face lectures is with the recording of some lectures. Some of this is being done now at UOIT on an experimental basis with the use of Silicon Chalk, a computer package that records computer screen and audio portions of lectures. This is being piloted as a way for students to be able to review lecture material. It is not difficult to imagine a situation where some lecture material that is relatively static may be recorded in this or another way for review by students. In this way, some face-to-face lecture material may become computer delivered. This does not move away from lectures but rather moves away from some face-to-face lectures. Laboratory experiences will continue to be delivered in face-to-face sessions. No matter how some traditional face-to-face contact time is displaced or supplemented with other activity or contact time, all of our courses will maintain a core component of face-to-face contact. All of our courses take advantage of the hybrid of a face-to-face and a computer mediated online environment. This type of environment is developing to various extents at other Canadian universities. UOIT, with its comprehensive ubiquitous computing environment, will be at the forefront in developing this face-to-face and online hybrid evolution of traditional physical campus based education. It will take time for us to develop our pedagogy to take advantage of our hybrid computer mediated and face-to-face environment. Our typical faculty member will have been educated in a traditional lecture mode. Traditional lectures will be the easiest way for us to teach in the short term. The structure of our contact hours will shift over time as we are able to develop our pedagogy to fully take advantage of our hybrid environment. Perhaps the easiest way to express this is through the number of traditional face-to-face lecture hours in a course. In 2005, many courses will still be delivered with a 3 face-to-face lecture hours per week format. By this time, some courses will have already moved to 2 hours of traditional lecture with some other mode of delivery for the third hour. This 2



and 1 model for the standard lecture based course is one that we would like to achieve in the fairly short term. Some innovative faculty may be able to shift their pedagogy sooner than others. We suspect that the 2 and 1 model will remain dominant for the foreseeable future. We expect that within a few years some instructors may go further and adopt the format of one traditional face-to-face lecture hour per week with the other two structured contact hours being replaced with a combination of face-to-face and online assisted interaction and activities. Beyond lectures altogether it remains to be seen to what extent we will find it useful and possible to develop some courses in an inquiry or problem based mode where all or most lectures become irrelevant. Although this pedagogy does not require a computer mediated environment, we believe that it would be greatly enhanced with this technology. We anticipate that our courses will end up with a range of delivery modes that take advantage of our technology rich hybrid environment. In all cases, our courses will have some traditional face-to-face lecture or personal contact component. We believe that this hybrid is the future of education in a technology rich computer enhanced environment. We will be at the forefront in this evolution of traditional campus based education.

11. Resource Requirements Enrolment Projections, Staffing Implications and Human Resources Projected steady-state enrolment is 20 students per year entering the program. Since there are only 3 new courses required for the program, the faculty resource requirements are minimal. These new courses entail the addition of the equivalent of approximately 0.75 faculty member, beginning in July, 2007. Physical Resources None of the new courses required for the specialization involves laboratory components. In view of its modest resource requirements, the proposed specialization is expected to be a very cost-effective addition to the UOIT Chemistry program. All existing classroom facilities are adequate for the program's needs at this time.

12. Program Design and Credential Recognition Research was conducted to compare the breadth and rigour of the elements of the Biological Chemistry program to similar programs in Canada and elsewhere.

Upon graduation, students in the proposed program will have achieved the degree level standard for an Honours BSc degree in Chemistry. Consultation

The Chemistry (Honours) degree with a specialization in Biological Chemistry has been carefully designed to provide a pathway to graduate study for students who wish to pursue advanced academic study in their science discipline or employment in industry. It is understood that other institutions will review the academic credentials and related experiences of UOIT graduates on a case-by-case basis.
