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.
You will learn lean and agile concepts and tools to improve customer value, processes, and reduce waste. You will examine lean and agile principles in diverse circumstances including hardware/software, product development/ongoing operations, and manufacturing products/providing services. You will apply your learning to improving performance in current responsibilities, whether as an individual contributor or as a manager. Requisites: Restricted to College of Engineering 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 intermediate and advanced statistical methods (Two- and Three-Way ANOVA and post hoc analyses for a large variety of specific designs). Real data sets are employed permitting a focus on engineering research in support of business decision making through the integration of cost benefit analysis and process performance. Parametric as well as nonparametric methods of analysis are included. Requisites: Requires prerequisite courses of EMEN 5005 and EMEN 5900 (minimum grade B). Restricted to College of Engineering graduate students only.
Combines intermediate and advanced statistical methods with practical research applications. Analysis methods covered involve Simple and Multiple Regression Analysis, Logit Regression, and related methods. Data Mining (e.g., CHAID and CART) are covered as well. The statistical models are implemented and interpreted in the context of actual data sets using statistical software such as SPSS and R. Requisites: Requires prerequisite course of EMEN 5610 (minimum grade B). Restricted to College of Engineering 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. Recommended prereq., EMEN 5020. Requisites: Restricted to College of Engineering graduate students only.
Learn a comprehensive set of business concepts, skills and tools to launch and manage intrapreneurial ventures. Engage with faculty, classmates, guest speakers, industry professionals, potential customers and one's leadership team to help you launch your venture. Develop the necessary skills, tools and awareness to be successful colleagues, managers and leaders in scientific and engineering industries. Gain valuable business acumen using a hands-on and safe-learning environment. Requisites: Restricted to College of Engineering graduate students 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.
Focuses on two areas: research methods and experimental design with a focus on industrial research and decision making. The research methods portion covers designing research studies of various types, from experimental to observational studies. The experimental design portion involves the design and analysis of single treatment factor experiments, One-Way designs and the related Analysis of Variance and Post Hoc analysis procedures for both continuous and discrete data using parametric and nonparametric analysis methods. Requisites: Requires prerequisite course of EMEN 5005 (minimum grade B). Restricted to College of Engineering 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.
