3.00 Credits
This course provides an introduction to quantitative systems analysis methods used for engineering and economic management and public policy decision making. Applied systems analysis is used to optimize engineering system and policy designs and evaluate decision alternatives. Techniques include constrained optimization, linear programming, sensitivity analysis, multi-objective optimization, decision analysis, and system dynamics modeling. Prerequisite: EP 251, or permission of instructor Staff
-
3.00 Credits
This course addresses the concepts and analytical techniques used in managing technology and innovation. Topics include management of research and development (R&D) functions, technological forecasting, dynamics of organizational change, cost justification of technological innovations, replacement analysis, diffusion of technology and innovation, and governmental policies related to technology and innovation.[W] Prerequisite: EP 261, or permission of instructor Staff
-
3.00 Credits
Sustainable solutions developed for a complex, real-world project by small groups of multidisciplinary students directed by a faculty advisor, or team of faculty advisors. All projects include significant technical and non technical challenges, and do not have a well-defined solution procedure. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor Staff
-
3.00 Credits
A course that emphasizes the practical application of engineering and public policy or engineering management principles. A limited number of students are placed in governmental agencies or business organizations. Under the supervision of a faculty member, each student completes a practical work project. Prerequisite: EP 450 or EP 452, or permission of instructor Staff
