Diploma in Technology Management and Entrepreneurship (TME)

The Dr. J. Herbert Smith Centre in the Faculty of Engineering offers a Diploma in Technology Management and Entrepreneurship (TME Diploma). The mission of the Dr. J. Herbert Smith Centre is to provide undergraduate and continuing education students opportunities to experience the realities of entrepreneurship and management in technology-based businesses and contribute to the development of the skills necessary to be successful in business. At the present time, students require three TME core courses (9 credit hours) and two TME approved electives (6 credit hours) to obtain their TME Diploma.

NOTE: All students must have completed 80 credit hours before enrolling in a TME Diploma course.

Up to 4 of the 5 courses needed for a TME Diploma can be taken from the courses within the Civil Engineering degree program. These include:

· HIST 3925 or SOCI 2534 (non-civil engineering core) counts as a TME elective course (3 ch)

· CE 5612 or CE 5623¹ (civil engineering technical elective) counts as a TME elective course (3 ch)

· TME 3013 or TME 3213² or TME 3313¹ (non-civil engineering technical elective³) counts as a TME core course (3 ch)

· TME 3113 or TME 3413 or TME 3423 or TME 3346 (civil engineering complementary studies electives) counts as a TME core or elective course (3 ch)⁴

¹ CE credit is only given for one of CE5623 and TME3313 (either, but not both).
² Also available through the Open Access Learning Program (on-line).
³ Limited to 4 credit hours of non-civil engineering technical electives within the Civil Engineering program.
⁴ See http://www.unb.ca/civil/undergradcourse_descrip.htm#complementary for limitations on the selection of other complementary studies electives.

This means that at least one TME core courses (3 ch) must be taken in addition to the 162 ch Civil Engineering Program to qualify for the TME Diploma. Note that some of the TME courses can be taken on-line under certain circumstances and require permission from the Civil Engineering Department.

Students wishing to register for the TME Diploma must obtain approval from the Dr. J. Herbert Smith Centre Chair, jhsc@unb.ca, and the Chair of the Department of Civil Engineering, Dr. Bruce Wilson, mcewan@unb.ca. Appropriate forms are available in the TME Office (H-225 or www.unb.ca/jhsc), which is located one floor above the Civil Engineering Office (H-124).
