This subject is the capstone subject for the coursework component of the Doctor of Technology in Science program. It sets the scene and guidelines for the research project component to be completed during the remainder of the student's candidature. It requires the student to bring together and apply all the knowledge, concepts and skills so far gained in the DTech program. It therefore invites the student to demonstrate substantial achievement in all areas developed during the other subjects in the coursework component of the program. Students exiting the program with the Master of Technology will have demonstrated their readiness to undertake research, development and management in science at the completion of this subject.
