Provides students with an understanding of how to prepare a program for effective and timely specification development and analytical methods for specification development. Management aspects covered include traceability, margins and budgets, requirements validation, specification publishing, and use of database systems. Non-EMP students require instructor permission. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students in Engineering Management Program (EMEN) only.
Provides methods for transforming a set of requirements in a series of specifications into a physical reality through product design, material procurement, and manufacturing transforms. The solution is developed through integration and optimization. This is the second course in a three course systems engineering sequence. Non-EMP students require instructor permission. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students in Engineering Management Program (EMEN) only.
Provides students with methods to plan and implement effective product verification process on a program involving development of complicated products. Applies a process perfected on military programs, but the process is generic and can be applied effectively to commercial products. A worst case product and program complexity are considered permitting tailoring of the process for less complex cases. Non-EMP students require instructor permission. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students in Engineering Management Program (EMEN) only.
Explores software product management activities from product concept to launch while ensuring both marketvisibility and customer satisfaction. Includes market research and opportunity analysis, software requirements, pricing and profitability, alpha-beta program feedback, operational readiness, sales channels and partner strategies. Recommended prereq., some software development experience. Non-EMP students require instructor permission. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students in Engineering Management Program (EMEN) only.
Introduces concepts and tools to create and improve customer and user value. Applications include: product development, project management, the provision of services, manufacturing, support services, supply chains, accounting, and management. L&A approaches are utilized in diverse companies internationally to respond to changing customer needs and pervasive global competition. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students only.
Applications oriented survey of operations research topics including linear and integer programming, network analysis, dynamic programming, nonlinear programming, decision analysis, Markov chain and Markovian decision models, queuing theory, and simulation. Non-EMP students require instructor permission. Same as OPIM 6070. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students in Engineering Management Program (EMEN) only.
Combines statistical methods with practical applications and computer software. Develops commonly used statistical models such as analysis of variance as well as linear and logistic regression. The statistical models are implemented and interpreted in the context of actual data sets using available statistical software. Continuation of EMEN 5005. Requisites: Requires prerequisite course of EMEN 5900 or APPM 4580 or APPM 5580 (minimum grade C+). Restricted to students with 57-180 credits (Junior or Senior) or graduate students only.
Combine intermediate and advanced statistical methods with practical research applications. Develops commonly used statistical models such as Two and Three-Way Analysis of Variance and the analysis of Fractional Factorial Designs for the solution of common business and industrial research problems. The statistical models are implemented and interpreted in the context of actual data sets using available statistical software. Requisites: Requires prerequisite course of EMEN 5610 (minimum grade C+). Restricted to students with 57-180 credits (Junior or Senior) or graduate students only.
Student teams launch a high-tech company over eight quarters in a simulated business environment. Decisions are made in all major business areas-e.g. product development, marketing, operations, finance- in competition with other teams. Given the results of the previous quarter, teams make decisions for the next quarter. After the first year (four quarters), students prepare an elevator pitch, executive summary, and PowerPoint pitch to justify additional venture capital or a bank loan. Non-EMP students require instructor permission. Requisites: Requires prerequisite courses of EMEN 5010 and 5020 (all minimum grade D-). Restricted to graduate students in Engineering Management Program (EMEN) only.
Gives students start-up experience. This project course is well suited for launching ventures within established companies (intrapreneurship) and start-ups (entrepreneurship). Topics covered include: customer and solutions development, cash-flow management, financing, and new-venture formation. Course culminates with delivery of an effective business plan and judging by investors. Recommended prereq., EMEN 5020 or equivalent. Non-EMP students require instructor permission. Requisites: Requires prerequisite course of EMEN 5090 (minimum grade D-). Restricted to graduate students in Engineering Management Program (EMEN) only.
Available only through approval of graduate advisor. Subjects arranged to fit the needs of the particular student. Non-EMP students require instructor permission. Requisites: Restricted to graduate students in Engineering Management Program (EMEN) only.
Explores commonly used research methods including analytical, agreement, descriptive, and relational methods; experimental design including incorporation, nesting, blocking, and controlling; threats to the internal and external validity of research. Sampling procedures and considerations, measurement validity and reliability, and managing the research study are also reviewed. Same as TLEN 5750. Requisites: Requires prerequisite course of EMEN 5005 or APPM 4570 or APPM 5570 (minimum grade C+). Restricted to students with 57-180 credits (Junior or Senior) or graduate students only.
Students determine capstone research question, conduct literature review, develop research methodology and project plan, write a proposal, and select capstone committee. Requisites: Requires prerequisite course of EMEN 5825 or EMEN 5900 (minimum grade C+). Restricted to graduate students in Engineering Management Program (EMEN) only.
Continues EMEN 6805 as the second half of a two-course sequence for the engineering management capstone project. Students conduct agreed-upon research, research and analyze results, develop recommendations, write a final report, and present the project to the committee for evaluation. Requisites: Requires prerequisite course of EMEN 6805 (minimum grade C+). Restricted to graduate students in Engineering Management Program (EMEN) only.
