Remarks
ENGMT 501 is designed to provide students with the insights into the use of modeling tools using spreadsheets to analyze quantitative problems engineering manager face on a daily basis. These tools include linear and nonlinear programming. Forecasting and simulation techniques will be used to solve problems where randomness is an issue such as in production planning, and in inventory control. Program Evaluation Review Techniques (PERT) and Critical Path Methods (CPM) will be used to schedule and control project costs."
This course is part of a cohort program and is only available to students accepted into the Master of Engineering Management program - cohort 6.
