 PSU Mission
- To develop the university into a society of learning based on a multi-
cultural background [...] and convenient access to learning and gain
from whatever forms and sources of knowledge are available at the
university.

- To build up expertise [...] and create a linkage to the global network.

- To integrate and apply knowledge based on practical experiences [...]

and international world-view vision in our graduates.

 "And how to agree on a topic?"

The 2 courses that form a COIL

project don’t have to have a
mutual topic

let's see some examples

Topics
Classes: Forensic Science (Turkey) and
Photography (US)
COIL Title: Photographic evidence
HOW TO
Summary: Students explored the role of DEVELOP A
photographic evidence in building a criminal
case. Students worked in small groups to TOPIC
develop scenarios that were then filmed by
photography students. The photos were
presented to other groups of students who
were asked to reconstruct the scenario
based solely on the photographic evidence.

Topics
Classes: Artificial Intelligence (Mexico)
and Spanish (US)
COIL Title: Smart Technologies for HOW TO
Everyone

Summary: In small groups, students were given

DEVELOP A
a smart technology to focus on. They worked
together to understand how the technology
TOPIC
worked, and were then asked to write articles
about their smart technology in both Spanish
and English. Articles were combined into a
newsletter that was distributed on both
campuses to explain smart technology for those
without a technology background.

Course title: Introduction to Database in the discipline of Mathematics and Computer science seeking
for Programming, Automation or Electronics

Short description of course: This course is an introduction to databases. Through activity-based learning
and using a database cloud deployment project, students will learn how to work on Microsoft Azure
Structured Query Language (SQL) on cloud and on-premises Microsoft SQL server. Students will learn
how to use SQL to query data and Optimize query performance. Students will learn how to monitor and
optimize operational resources, how to implement a secure environment and how to automate database
tasks.
Language(s) of instruction and number of students: English, 30 students
Course start - end: September - December 2023

Instructor's desired outcomes for this COIL module: Students will pair with Networking, Programming,
Automation or Electronics international students, which will give diverse knowledge about the
application of cloud databases at a global level. It is even possible for students to be paired with a
management program student where they can learn how to deal with the global functionality of a
multinational company.
Note: Faculty matched with Seneca faculty can participate in a COIL training in February and March 2023

Course title: ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS in the discipline of Mathematics and Computer
science seeking for Mathematics, Engineering

Short course description: The class covers the basics of the study of ODEs. We start with ODES used
as models in physics, biology... Then we provide some theoretical aspects such as the proof of the
Cauchy-Lipschitz theorem. The last part is dedicated to the local qualitative analysis mainly in two
dimensions. Several projects are proposed for the students to work on during the semester.

Course title: Dynamical Systems, Networks and Applications in the discipline of Mathematics and
Computer science seeking for interdisciplinary: Maths, Physics, Biology, Network Science...

Short course description: This class deals mainly with the analysis of Dynamical Systems (mainly ODEs
and PDEs) embedded in a Network structure. Each node represents a unit which evolves dynamically
and interact with other units. The interactions are represented by edges.

Title of course seeking partner: Calculus I in the discipline of Mathematics and Computer science
seeking for Maths/Physics/Biology...

Short course description: Calculus deals with the introduction of concepts which have been used to
decribe scientific laws : from Physics to Biology, from Chemistry to Epidemiology. The foundation of
calculus relies on the notions of derivative and integrals. It goes back to the seventeenth century and
the works of Leibniz and Newton. The introduction of those fundamental notions will rely on real word
applications. The course calculus I will introduce the basics of calculus. The following chapters will be
studied: Introduction to Calculus. Functions and limits. Derivatives. Application of Derivatives, The
Chain Rule. Integrals. Exponential and Logarithms. Inverse Functions.
Language(s) of instruction and number of students: English, 50 students
Course start - end: January - May 2023

Preferred partner regions or countries (if any): US institutions and specifically in the NYC area.
