This is a self-directed learning subject, normally for students enrolled in the Master of Science Management program. It is designed to facilitate the student's professional development in a science or technology discipline of his or her choice. Each student negotiates an individual learning contract with the Subject Coordinator. Learning activities are not restricted, but may include any of the following (individually or in combination): critical review of the literature on a topic; individual or group research project; study in appropriate science and technology subjects at UTS. Appropriate work-based activity may be included if the Faculty of Science is satisfied that adequate supervisory arrangements exist. Students attempting this subject must submit a draft Learning Plan to the Subject Coordinator in or before the first week of semester.
