   2. 30 credit hours on a comprehensive project route, including 24 credit hours of course work, a preparatory workshop module for the capstone research project and report course, and a 6 credit hour capstone research project and report course. Course work includes three compulsory Core Courses (9 credit hours) and five Category A Electives (15 credit hours). Students on the project route will complete TECH 610A (zero credit hours) and TECH 610B (6 credit hours): Research Project in Technology Management). During TECH 610A/B, students will choose a topic in consultation with the Academic Director, find a research project supervisor, and will work independently to carry out an in-depth study of a problem or application within the area of technology management and fully document and present their findings. Preferably the problem will be directly related to a workplace situation.

2. Project Route:

   1. Students on the Project Route must complete TECH 610A/B.

   2. Registration in TECH 610A/B requires a Course Change Form signed by the Academic Director.

   3. Student will normally complete TECH 610A/B in the last two terms of the program.

   4. Students must complete TECH 610A in no more than 1 term or they will be required to switch back to the Course Route to complete the program.

3. Special topics course registration requires a Course Change Form signed by the Academic Director.

4. Up to three relevant elective courses (9 credit hours) may be transferred from other graduate programs within the School of Graduate Studies or from other post-secondary institutions recognized by Senate, subject to the approval of the Dean of Graduate Studies on the recommendation of the Academic Director.

5. Students with full-time status may register for a maximum of 9 credit hours in any regular semester and a maximum of 6 credit hours in intersession or summer session.

6. Students with part-time status may register for a maximum of 6 credit hours in any regular semester and a maximum of 3 credit hours in intersession or summer session.

7. Students may register for an additional course in a semester or session with the permission of the Academic Director.

1. Students in the Master of Technology Management (Aquaculture Technology Option) shall be required to complete a minimum of either:

   1. 24 credit hours of course work and a major project and report (6 credit hours). Course work includes three compulsory core courses (9 credit hours); and five elective courses (15 credit hours), of which at least 3 must be from Category B Electives. Students on the project route will complete MSTM 6102: Project in Aquaculture Technology Management (6 credit hours). During MSTM 6102 students will choose a topic In consultation with the Academic Director or designate and will work independently to carry out an In-depth study of a problem or application within the area of aquaculture technology management and fully document and present their findings. Preferably the problem will be directly related to a workplace situation.

   2. 30 credit hours on a comprehensive-course route. Course work includes three compulsory core courses (9 credit hours); and seven elective courses (21 credit hours), of which at least 3 must be from Category B Electives.

2. Up to three relevant elective courses (9 credit hours) may be transferred from other graduate programs within the School of Graduate Studies or from other post-secondary institutions recognized by Senate, subject to the approval of the Dean of Graduate Studies on the recommendation of the Academic Director.

3. Students with full-time status may register for a maximum of 9 credit hours in any regular semester and a maximum of 6 credit hours in intersession or summer session.
