The Department of Management Sciences, Faculty of Engineering, was established in 1969 as a consolidation of the Management and Systems Engineering Programme. The Department is presently in its formative stage, so that the faculty list and the course descriptions shown here may not be complete at the 1969 - 70 dates of registration.
The two main activities of the Department are complementary: (1) the pursuit of advanced research in selected fields of the management sciences, and (2) the provision of post-graduate courses of instruction for people who want to achieve high professional qualifications. Active faculty engagement in advanced research as well as experience in professional practice is considered essential to the development of adequate courses of instruction. The boundaries between pure research, applied research and professional practice become indistinct when the aim is to discover imaginative new ways to solve complex management problems.
The scope of both research activities and courses of instruction is presently limited to the fields of expertise and special interests of the faculty. However, existing research and course offerings fall within the four major categories described below, and the aim of the new Department is to strengthen and develop these major fields of study.
Operations Analysis and Codified methods and techniques of mathematical analysis, experimen- Operations Research tal design, data and information processing and statistical inference as

Economic, Financial and Legal Econometric methods, models and sources of useable data; finance Analysis and Research strategies and financial correspondences to human and physical resource
allocations within enterprises; financial planning and capital growth models and their constraints. Behavioural, economic and mathematical aspects of investment decisions. Quantifiable problems of market behaviour. Patent and corporate law in management. Current research involves models of corporate growth, stock market behaviour and industrial innovation processes.
Organizational Behaviour and The study of psychological and sociological aspects of human behaviour Human Performance within the organizational system such as motivation leadership. control, interpersonal relations and group interactions, conflict, communication, organizational change, decision making and perception. Current research involves mathematical models of organizational behaviour and structure.
Resource Management The application of theories, models, methods and techniques of management sciences to the development and operational management of large resource systems in both the public and private sectors of the economy, involving problems of both public policy and private decision criteria. Emphasis is placed on the determination and measurement of value, and the use and evaluation of various utility theories and methods of benefit-cost analysis. Current research applications include mathematical models for water resource planning, manpower planning, petroleum and natural gas distribution, park and recreation systems planning, and education systems planning.
Graduate and Research Programme
Graduate credit is measured in units. A one-term course at the graduate level counts as one unit. Equivalent credit may be given to students transferring from other recognized universities for appropriate graduate courses previously taken. Certain senior undergraduate courses at this University may be taken for either partial or full graduate credit up to a maximum of two units.
The normal academic load is four units per term for a full-time student. Five units may be taken with special permission only. Students involved in a part-time employment at the University or otherwise, must take a reduced academic load.
A Faculty Advisor is appointed to supervise the programme of study of each graduate student. A new student must meet with his advisor prior to graduate course registration to arrange and approve his coursework programme and discuss his research interests. The progress of the student will be reviewed at least once each term by the advisor.
Master's Degree Programme
The Master’s Degree (M.A.Sc.)} in Management Sciences is awarded upon demonstration of individual accomplishment of a high professional and academic standard. The candidate, with approval of his advisor, may elect to submit either a research thesis as a portion of the requirements, or a project report of a professional calibre on an operational or theoretical application problem.
A research thesis may be submitted for graduate credit. The topic of the thesis and the choice of the remaining minimum of four units of graduate course work are arranged by the student and his Faculty Ad-

must be performed under the direction of the Faculty Advisor, and is finally approved and accepted by him.
A Project Report may be submitted for graduate credit, under MS
MSCI 807The topic of the report and the remaining eight units of graduate course work are arranged by the student and his Faculty Advisor
The work leading to the report must be performed under the direction of the Advisor and be acceptable to him. Credit may not be obtained for both MS 807 and MS 808.
Candidates will normally be required to study in depth in one of the four fields of activities delineated above, and to demonstrate acquaintance with the other three.
The time limitations for a Master’s degree are four consecutive academic years for all course work and project or thesis requirements to be completed. The normal programme involves three terms of full-time study which must be extended if three or fewer units per term are taken.
Academic performance must be sufficient that the student receives an average grade of B (66-742) or more in the course-work portion of his approved study programme. At any time, a student may be required to withdraw from the programme if he receives a grade of C (60-66%) or less, in more than one course in Management Sciences or in more than a total of two course units, including minor fields.
The Ph.D. Degree Programme
The Ph.D. degree is awarded for accomplishment of independent and original research work and reporting thereon in a research thesis. The subsidiary requirements are completion of a suitable course-work programme, passing a comprehensive examination, demonstration of reading knowledge of a foreign language, and receiving a satisfactory review by a supervising committee. All of these must be construed as contributing to the competent performance of the research objective.
Admission to the Ph.D. programme is based upon the student’s academic record and evidence of ability to pursue independent research. Students must satisfy the requirements of the comprehensive examination as set out below. No candidate will be admitted to the Ph.D. programme before a Faculty Advisor willing to supervise the candidate’s research is appointed.
Minimum registration requirements for the Ph.D. degree are of two academic years from the Master’s degree level. or equivalent. The maximum time allowed is five consecutive academic years from the same level.
The course work associated with the Ph.D. programme is intended to provide a foundation for advanced learning in the general field of study as well as for competent research performance in some specific area. While there is no fixed requirement as to the number of credit units to be taken, aside from a usual maximum of eight units, the Advisor and the supervisory committee for each candidate will consider the level and adequacy of each candidate’s preparation in drawing up his specific programme.
The Comprehensive Examination The form of this examination varies with the applicant’s background and will be determined by the Department. The following are regarded as minimum examples: (I) Candidates holding master’s degrees from this university may have an oral examination. (2) Candidates having master’s degrees awarded mainly by thesis, and able to present themselves for examination, may elect to be examined orally on their thesis

M.A.Sc. If accepted they will then be required to follow three graduate courses in their first term and to obtain at least a 70% average. Successful candidates may then be registered retroactively for the Ph.D. (4) Candidates may submit substantially documented Ph.D. research proposals in writing and may elect to be examined orally on their proposals. Unsuccessful candidates will not be allowed to proceed.
