Decision Analytics for Engineering Management. 3 credits

Catalog description

This course provides an applied, engineering-management-focused introduction to decision analytics. The objective is to equip students with analytical methodologies that support managerial decision-making, including: (i) decision analysis tools for structuring problems, quantifying uncertainty (probabilities), and quantifying preferences (tradeoffs and risk attitude), and (ii) deterministic optimization tools for resource allocation and planning, including linear programming and extensions. Students will gain experience modeling real-life engineering management problems, solving them using software, and interpreting results using sensitivity analysis and related approaches. Offered by Systems Engr & Operations Rsch . May not be repeated for credit.
