3.00 Credits
Modern tools and methods for product design and development. Teams conceive, design, and prototype a physical product. Cases and exercises reinforce key ideas. Topics include product planning, identifying customer needs, concept generation, product architecture, industrial design, concept design, and design-for-manufacturing. Preference to SDM students.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Modern software development techniques and algorithms for engineering computation. Hands-on investigation of computational and software techniques for simulating engineering systems, such as sensor networks, traffic networks, and discrete simulation of materials using atomistic and particle methods. Covers data structures and algorithms for modeling, analysis, and visualization in the setting of multi-core and distributed computing. Treatment of basic topics, such as queuing, sorting and search algorithms, and more advanced numerical techniques based on state machines and distributed agents. Foundation for in-depth exploration of image processing, optimization, finite element and particle methods, computational materials, discrete element methods, and network methods. Knowledge of an object-oriented language required.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: 1.00 or permission of instructor
-
2.00 Credits
Addresses the importance and pervasiveness of globalization in Architecture, Engineering and Construction Companies (AEC Firms). Covers strategies for a presence in the global market and the importance of the global financial market in project financing, with a primary focus on infrastructure. Includes discussion of innovative approaches to marketing, partnering, risk management, finance, specialized delivery systems, and privatization.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Infrastructure systems such as transportation, telecommunication, and electric power systems have become a crucial aspect of modern society. Investigates techniques from control theory and optimization that help develop and manage these systems. Although each system has unique features that need to be understood, course considers how some tools have general applicability. Studies concepts such as stability, robustness, resource allocation, stakeholder equity, and arguments for centralization/decentralization of components. Knowledge of infrastructure systems, control theory, system dynamics, network analysis required.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Examines the evolution from Web 2.0, with its emphasis on interactivity through online collaboration and sharing among users (primarily through social networking sites, wikis and communication tools), to Web 3.0, which focuses on high proactivity, transforming the Web into a database, and the leveraging of artificial intelligence technologies, such as the Semantic Web. Introduces Management 3.0 and the range of new Web technologies, applications, and business opportunities and challenges that it supports. Includes case studies, industry and academic speakers, discussion of basic principles, and a team project.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
How to leverage major technology advances to significantly transform a business in the marketplace. Focus on major issues a business must deal with to transform its technical and market strategies successfully, including the organizational and cultural aspects that often cause such business transformations to fail.Draws from concrete experiences of IBM's major transformation in the late 1990s, when it aggressively embraced the Internet and came up with its e-business strategy.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on the management of product and process innovation and on economic, management, and technological influences on innovation. Both sustaining and disruptive innovations in products and manufacturing processes covered in lectures and cases presented by the leaders of change in different industries. Emphasis on emerging and disruptive technologies as seen from the points of view of entering firms (predators) and incumbent firms (prey) are covered in a class exercise, and project (preferably done in small groups).
Prerequisite:
Prereq: None
-
2.00 Credits
Examines methods standout organizations use to generate and sustain more value, with less effort and fewer resources, than their rivals. Methods illustrated with examples from heavy and high-tech manufacturing, new product development and manufacturing, health care and military. Addresses the role of lean, six sigma, and other quality programs. Preference to students in LGO, SDM, and 2N master's programs.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
3.00 Credits
Addresses some of the important issues involved with the planning, development, and implementation of lean enterprises. People, technology, process, and management dimensions of an effective lean manufacturing company are considered in a unified framework. Particular emphasis on the integration of these dimensions across the entire enterprise, including product development, production, and the extended supply chain. Analysis tools as well as future trends and directions are explored. A key component of this subject is a team project.
Prerequisite:
Prereq: Permission of instructor
-
1.00 Credits
Covers the fundamental principles, practices and tools of lean six sigma methods that underlay modern organizational productivity approaches applied in aerospace, automotive, health care, and other sectors. Includes lectures, active learning exercises, a plant tour, talks by industry practitioners, and videos. One third of the course is devoted to a physical simulation of an aircraft manufacturing enterprise to illustrate the power of lean six sigma methods. Students taking the graduate version complete additional assignments.
