This experience is designed for learners exploring the complexities of international business management. Participants will develop skills in navigating cross-cultural environments, formulating global strategies, and managing international human resources. By applying their knowledge to real-world projects, learners will gain insights into the ethical, social, and sustainability responsibilities of international managers. This experience will enable learners to critically assess international management environments and devise strategies for effective global operations.

This experience immerses learners in the multifaceted landscape of Canadian business, equipping them with the skills to integrate various business functions effectively. Participants will gain insights into Canada's economy, business ethics, legal fundamentals, and management practices. By applying these concepts, learners will be prepared to tackle real-world projects that require a comprehensive understanding of organizational dynamics, human resource management, marketing strategies, and financial operations. This experience is designed to bridge classroom knowledge with practical applications, fostering a holistic approach to business problem-solving.

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on learners from Langara College to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based experience. Learners will work on one to two projects over the experience of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. This semester runs January through March, 2025. Learners in this program/experience will explore human resources management foundations with an emphasis on defining and applying various processes and techniques to acquire and maintain an efficient workforce. They will apply technical aspects of employee management including reviewing and recommending processes or policies to support workforce planning, recruitment, training, performance management, total reward, and/or health and safety management.

This project-based course is the second in our first-year Engineering Design sequence. In this course, students expand their understanding of engineering design and explore systems comprising electrical, mechanical, and software sub-systems. They apply engineering tools, including CAD tools and microcontroller programs, to create and control physical embodiments of their designs. Students work in teams of 4-5 on projects with specific practical goals using Arduino microcontrollers. These projects require teams to document and present their design solutions, illustrating key aspects using projected slides, engineering graphics, and live demonstrations. Additionally, students learn about sustainability and its impact on engineering design, as well as engineering ethical practices. Students in CPSC 1491 have already completed coursework in programming (C++), engineering drawing, and CAD (SolidWorks). The projects in this course utilize microcontrollers as the central component.
