TIM Courses

 

 

Restricted Elective Courses

All students in the TIM program must complete 1.0 credit in the field of technology innovation management and 1.0 credit in engineering, business or science.

Courses in the field of technology innovation management begin with the prefix TIMG (https://calendar.carleton.ca/grad/courses/TIMG/).

Students on the MEng pathway normally choose elective courses from the various departments and schools with the Faculty of Engineering and Design, or courses from the TIM program.

Students on the MEnt pathway normally choose elective courses from the Sprott School of Business or courses from the TIM program.

Students on the MABA pathway must choose elective courses related to the application of business analytics.

TIM courses (with the TIMG prefix) are within engineering, business or science, thus also qualify for this requirement. You can complete the requirements of a TIM degree by completing only TIMG courses.

Non-Restricted Elective Courses

Students on the M.Eng degree pathway are required to complete 1.0 credit from courses offered in engineering, business, or science. TIM courses (with the TIMG prefix) can be counted towards this requirement.
