Brown, B.A. (Toronto), M.A. (Toronto) - Special Lecturer A post-graduate programme in applied mathematical and systems analysis in Management is offered by the University of Waterloo. Individually tailored training is provided in quantitative techniques for the definition and solution of planning, organizational, and operational problems in industrial, commercial, and financial enterprises. Research and professional work by Waterloo faculty in closely related fields provide an interdisciplinary environment for Management study: psychology, sociology, manufacturing science, design, transportation, resource and economic planning: and management, control systems, computer technology, simulation and econometrics, statistics and optimisation theory, and others. Students in the Management programme, or in any of the above fields, may select a major or minor field of methodology, functional operations such as production, marketing, etc., or in integrative activities such as corporate planning. Both M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. programmes are available. Information on the Master’s programme is given below; and information on the Doctoral programme is available on request. Requirements for the Master’s Degree The Master’s degree will be awarded to students who successfully complete four units from the Management and Systems Engineering curriculum, two units from Mathematics, and two units from any Department. At least six must be courses for which full graduate credit is given, and an average of 66% must be obtained in the courses submitted. In addition to course work, the candidate for the M.A.Sc. degree must present a research report, or a project study at a professional level incorporating a substantial application of Operations Research or Management and Systems Engineering techniques to some appropriate real world problem. For students employed off-campus during their period of study, the problem must be found within the operational area of the candidate’s own firm, and the firm must be willing to allow access to data and, when necessary, clerical assistance for successful completion of the project. The firm will very probably enjoy realizeable benefits from the project. There is no requirement for publication of such reports and every attempt will be made to ensure the integrity of confidential information. Full-time students will choose such a problem with the help of faculty. The candidate has, of course, full access to the Library, the computational and consultational facilities of the University and its faculty members, for the project. Students may complete the course-study and project requirements under a variety of conditions of residence and employment: they may be employed on- or off-campus, and may attend classes in non-consecutive terms. The programme runs year-round and students may enter in September, January or May. Students who are employed less than half-time and are in residence on the University campus, may carry a maximum course load of four units per term, and hence require a minimum of two terms (not necessarily consecutive) to complete the course requirements. The project requiremnt will probably but not necessarily extend beyond the course-study period. Students who are employed more than half-time, including students holding teaching fellowships, must reduce their course load unless their employment is on a research project related to their degree requirement. Admission The University admission regulations and procedures as described in the calendar will apply, and in addition, the Management and Systems Engineering Committee will use the following criteria in recommending individual programmes. (1) The candidate should hold an Honours degree, or equivalent in one of the following or related areas: Engineering, Mathematics, Economics. (2) The candidate should have successfully completed University-level courses in: Advanced Calculus, Numerical Analysis, Basic Statistics, Computer Programming (Fortran). Where it appears appropriate candidates may be admitted to the programme with the requirement that prerequisite courses be taken. In view of the requirement for a project study, co-operative programme candidates must assure themselves of support from their employers, and the Management and Systems Engineering Committee will require some evidence that such support is forthcoming. Application for admission should be made as early as possible on forms provided by the Office of the Registrar. Academic transcripts and other supporting documents should be forwarded to the Registrar as soon as they become available. It is preferred that at least one reference from an applicant’s employer be submitted.
