IIME 405: Project Management (100/1444)

M 05:00-08:00 PM Jun 02-Aug 01

Irwin, A

Project Management is concerned with the management and control of a group of interrelated tasks required to be completed in an efficient and timely manner for the successful accomplishment of the objectives of the project. Since each project is usually unique in terms of task structure, risk characteristics and objectives, the management of projects is significantly different from the management of repetitive processes designed to produce a series of similar products or outputs. Large-scale projects are characterized by a significant commitment of organizational and economic resources coupled with a high degree of uncertainty. Thus, the objective of the course is to understand what are the main issues and problems in the management of projects and to have a thorough knowledge of the conceptual models and techniques available to deal with them. Recommended preparation: Senior status in engineering.

IIME 410: Accounting, Finance, and Engineering Economics (100/1446)

Drummond, C

This class uses a combination of class lecture and discussion, in combination with problem-type and case-type assignments, to introduce you to key concepts and tools of financial economics. You are expected to use the resources at your disposal, such as the textbook or the accounting dictionary, to help you understand any unfamiliar concepts. Normally, each class will be divided into two sections. The first part of each class session will be devoted to discussions of selected problems and cases, with focus on the specific topics being covered. The second part of each class will be devoted to prepare you for the following session class assignments. Recommended preparation: Senior status in engineering.

IIME 415: Materials and Manufacturing Processes (100/1448)

M 09:00-12:00 PM Jun 02-Aug 01

McGuffin-Cawley, J; Wnek, G

A survey course on contemporary and modern materials and their processing, the course begins with a review of traditional materials, including metals, ceramics, plastics, and composites. The evolution of the materials will be traced from their beginnings as raw resources and precursors to finished products. Topics will emphasize modern manufacturing methods and materials. Traditional and modern tools for materials and process characterization will be an important part of the course. Special attention will be directed to examples of statistical methodology and information technology. Visits to local industries and presentations by participating companies will reinforce the information presented in the classroom. Recommended preparation: Senior status in engineering.
