ENGG
201: Quantitative Methods for Decision
Making
3.0 semester hours |
|
|
Introduction
to various operations research tools and techniques
used in decision making. Linear Programming
methods, including the simplex method and
duality as well as the transportation and
assignment problem, will be studied in order
to provide students with an understanding
of mathematical optimization methods. Additional
topics, including forecasting and inventory
control methods, will be covered so as to
familiarize students with problem solving
methods for decision making. Software tools
will be utilized, and examples will be based
on typical engineering management decisions. |

ENGG
202: Probability and Statistics for Engineering
Managers
3.0 semester hours |
|
|
Introduction
to the statistical methods used for quantitative
analysis by managers. Probability theory will
be used to demonstrate the theories of randomness
and variability. Statistical analysis methods,
including: confidence interval calculation,
hypothesis testing, and regression analysis,
will then be covered in order to provide students
with the analytical tools useful for and necessary
of managers. Examples from engineering will
be used to demonstrate the concepts and statistical
methods. |

ENGG
203: Project Management
3.0 semester hours |
|
|
An
introduction to the concept of the project
management as a unique management approach.
Since projects are the focus of many engineering
ventures, it is especially important that
engineering managers are capable of addressing
the variety of challenges a project presents.
Concepts such as project organizational design,
the strategic context of projects, project
leadership and control, project evaluation,
and stakeholder management will be discussed.
Specific tools for the management of projects,
including, but not limited to, software packages
will be demonstrated and used. The various
aspects of projects, such as directing, planning,
and controlling, will be studied through the
use of case studies. |

ENGG
204: Accounting and Finance for Engineering
Managers
3.0 semester hours |
|
|
A
comprehensive overview of the concepts of
financial and managerial accounting, focusing
on accounting systems, statements, and reports
along with the analysis of these reports.
Analysis of balance sheets, income and retained
earnings sheets, and statements of cash flows
will be covered. The ethical dimensions of
utilizing financial data for decision making
will be discussed. Case studies and the analysis
of publicly held companies will be employed
in order to demonstrate and reinforce the
concepts of financial decision making. |

ENGG
205: Total Quality Management
3.0 semester hours |
|
|
An
examination of the concept of quality in the
context of the business world. A multitude
of tools, with an emphasis on quantitative
methods, designed to insure and maintain quality
will be studied in depth including: analysis
of variance, statistical quality control,
benchmarking, and ISO certification. Also,
the theories of Deming, Juran, and others
that have added significantly to the study
of quality will be covered as well in order
to provide a historical and contemporary look
at quality in industry. Emphasis will be placed
on the engineering aspects of the measurement
and maintenance of quality.
Prerequisite: ENGG 202 |

ENGG
210: Engineering Management Capstone Project
3.0 - 6.0 semester hours under advisement |
| |
|
The
capstone design project requires students
to take a team-based multi-disciplinary approach
and address an industry-based engineering
management problem. The design project will
require the integration of the many tools
utilized by engineering managers as taught
in the coursework of the engineering management
program. Course deliverables will include
a written report and oral presentation demonstrating
that appropriate research and analysis support
the recommendations put forth by the students.
This course is designed to be the culmination
of students' studies in engineering
management. The number of credits required
is determined by the number of applicable
Business School courses taken.
