The course structure is grounded in the following themes: -The role of the board of directors; -The CEO relationship to the firm's principal stakeholders (shareholders, board of directors, employees, customers) and the CEO's responsibility to give back (time and money) to the community; -CEO role in developing and maintaining the organization's vision, values and corporate culture. Prereq: E.M.B.A. candidates only.

This class develops practical, actionable insights into how people make economic decisions in the real world. Standard economics proposes that decisions are motivated by a rational response to financial incentives and information. Behavioral economics expands the standard approach by incorporating and understanding the systematic biases and errors we make in interpreting information and making decisions. This expanded toolbox will help the student to improve their own decisions and to understand and motivate behavior in employees, customers, and others. Prereq: E.M.B.A. candidates only.

This course explores the ideas and methods of design as a new approach to management practices that is well suited to the changing environment that organizations face in contemporary culture and the emerging economic environment in the United States and abroad. It is a studio course as well as a seminar, because it is designed around a project that each student brings to the EMBA program, a project that is grounded in the issues and operations of the student's organization or in the kind of organization that the student wishes to explore. In addition to the yearlong project, the course will also include important readings in management and organizational literature that are relevant to the new direction of strategic thinking. Finally, the course will draw on the expertise of other faculty at the Weatherhead School of Management who will be called upon to share their practical expertise and theoretical knowledge in the development and execution of the student's management design project, whether in the area of vision and strategy, new product development of goods and services, operations, organizational design and configuration, or related topics. This is the first part of a two semester course. Prereq: E.M.B.A. candidates only.

This course explores a proposition: that business, the motor of our society has the opportunity to be a new creative force on the planet, a force that could contribute to the well being of many. Our exploration and search is for "business as an agent of world benefit" and the questions are many: what does it look like, where is it happening, what are the market, societal and leadership enablers, and what are the results? Prereq: E.M.B.A. candidates only.
-
1.00 Credits
Topical lectures by faculty on current areas of materials research serving to complement the concepts introduced in EMSE 201. General discussion of overall curriculum and educational objectives. Recommended preparation: EMSE 201 or concurrent enrollment.
-
3.00 Credits
The relationships between optimizing sports activities and the performance requirements of sports equipment are developed. The inherent properties of materials are shown to be the controlling factors in the design of almost all types of sports equipment. Properties of the major classes of materials used to manufacture sports equipment are examined. Materials discussed include advanced composites, foams, metals, ceramics, and natural composites, e.g., wood and leather. The absorption, storage, and release of energy by equipment during sports activities are shown to relate to the basic structure of the materials from which it is made. Demonstration experiments are conducted periodically throughout the course.

In order for ideas to impact the lives of individuals and society they must be moved from "blue sky" to that which is manufacturable. Therein lies true creativity - design under constraint. Greater Cleveland is fortunate to have a diverse set of industries that serve medical, aerospace, electric, and advanced-materials technologies. This course involves trips to an array of work sites of leading companies to witness first-hand the processes and products, and to interact directly with practitioners. Occasional in-class speakers with demonstrations will be used when it is not logistically reasonable to visit off-site.
-
2.00 Credits
This course complements EMSE 110. In that class students witness a diverse array of processing on-site in industry. In this class students work in teams and as individuals within processing laboratories working with an array of "real materials" to explore the potential of casting, machining, and deformation processes to produce real parts and/or components. An introduction to CAD as a means of communication is provided. The bulk of the term is spent in labs doing hands-on work. Planned work is carried out to demonstrate techniques and potential. Students have the opportunity to work independently or in teams to produce articles as varied as jewelry, electronics, transportation vehicles, or novel components or devices of the students choosing.
-
1.00 Credits
Freshman students conduct independent research in the area of material science and engineering, working closely with graduate student(s) and/or postdoctoral fellow(s), and supervised by an EMSE faculty member. An average of 5-6 hr/wk in the laboratory, periodic updates, and an end of semester report is required. Prereq: Limited to freshman, with permission of instructor.
