EOS 510. ENGINEERING PROJECT DECISION PROCESSES Three credits
Projects are assessed with respect to uncertainty (revenues, expenses, product/process
Performance) and risk. Cash flows are evaluated to estimate present values and quantify
risks associated with various decision alternatives. Topics include depreciation strategies,
make/purchase/rent choices, break-even and benefit/cost assessments, and decision analysis
with imperfect information. Required of all EOS students. Three hours lecture per week.
EOS 515. QUALITY PROCESSES FOR DESIGN AND PRODUCTION Three credits
Applicable quality techniques are presented within the context of research, new product
development, plant operations, product support, and risk reduction. Students will learn
how to articulate objectives, identify desired outcomes and establish suitable metrics for
performance management. Required of all EOS students. Three hours lecture per week.
EOS 520. OPERATIONS ANALYSIS AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION Three credits Students will assess production flows and space/equipment/resource utilization for purposes
of reducing production bottlenecks while maintaining/increasing facility utilization.
Various quantitative analysis and optimization methodologies will be covered for solving
linear and nonlinear optimization problems. Simulation and graphical approaches will be
utilized to assess solution performance. Required of all EOS students. Three hours lecture
per week.
EOS 525. PROJECT ANALYSIS AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION Three credits A study of critical issues in the management of engineering projects including proposal
development, mobilization, scope change, completion and termination. Performance
metrics are considered in planning and tracking project cost, schedule, and resource
requirements with CPM/PERT algorithms. Case discussions and a term project are included
in the course. Required of all EOS students. Three hours lecture per week.
EOS 530. ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT MODELS Three credits
A review of engineering analytical methods and their application in strategic decision
environments. Required case studies will require techniques such as Monte Carlo simulation,
risk assessment, and failure modeling as the suitability and application of several
engineering analytical approaches to operational analysis of business/industry decision
processes. Required of all EOS students. Three hours lecture per week.
EOS 580. GRADUATE PROJECT CONTINUUM One - Three credits
EOS students may elect a three-credit-hour industry-based project option. The student,
working with industry, will select a project topic derived from an existing need/interest in
industry under the guidance of a faculty project advisor selected by mutual agreement of
the student and faculty member. When the project is completed and approved by the
Project Advisor, bound copies of the approved report will be filed in the department office
and in Farley Library for record. A grade will be awarded each semester the student is
enrolled in EOS 580. At project completion, a completion grade will be awarded by converting
one credit-hour of EOS 580 to one credit-hour of EOS 581 (Graduate Project
Completion). EOS 580 credit does not apply toward meeting degree requirements until
a grade for EOS 581 is recorded. Only two hours of credit for EOS 580 may apply toward
EOS degree requirements (although the student may enroll in a total of more than two
credit hours of continuum if project completion extends to additional semesters).
EOS 581. GRADUATE PROJECT COMPLETION One credit
Recorded with grade by converting one credit-hour of EOS 580. Occurs upon completion
of the graduate project, receipt of Project Advisor approval, and submittal of
approved copies to the department office and Farley Library for binding and record.
EOS 590. THESIS CONTINUUM One - Six credits
EOS students may elect the six-credit-hour thesis option under the guidance of a Thesis
Advisor who chairs the Thesis Committee. The Committee is comprised of three members;
at least two members (including the Advisor) must be Wilkes faculty members.
When the thesis is complete and has been defended with Committee approval in an open
forum, bound copies of the approved thesis will be filed in the department office and in
Farley Library for record. A continuum grade will be awarded each semester the student
is enrolled in Continuum. A completion grade will be awarded by converting one credit-
hour of EOS 590 Graduate Thesis Continuum to one credit-hour of EOS 591 Graduate
Thesis Completion. EOS 590 credit does not apply toward meeting degree completion
until a grade for EOS 591 is recorded. Only five hours of credit for EOS 590 may apply
toward EOS degree requirements (although the student may enroll in a total of more than
five hours of continuum if thesis completion extends to additional semesters).
EOS 591. GRADUATE PROJECT COMPLETION One credit
Recorded with grade by converting one credit-hour of EOS 590. Occurs after successful
defense of the Graduate Thesis before a Thesis Committee in an open forum, and after
approved copies have been submitted to the department office and Farley Library for
binding and record.
This course introduces the distinct objectives of the MBA program, including business ethics, communication, decision-making, diversity, leadership, professionalism, social responsibility, and team performance, in the context of traditional theories and models of organizational behavior.
This course presents a variety of quantitative models applicable to both routine and non-routine business decisions. This course teaches students how to obtain information from data, and how to build models for making decisions. The goal of the course is to sharpen the student’s ability to approach business-related problems by integrating methods and applications. The focus of the course is on understanding the meaning of both the numbers and the methods, not necessarily on the manual computations. Topics may include (but are not limited to) regression and correlation analysis, time series analysis and forecasting models, and quality and productivity management. Course activities may include case analyses, research, application of advanced techniques, or and/or utilization of various information technologies.
Prerequisite: MBA 512 or equivalent.
Problems of the firm and how to solve them. Price and output determination with analysis of cost and demand functions in markets of various types as well as decision-making under conditions of uncertainty and over time. Emphasis is given to firm’s role in the global economy and the theory of international trade. The course will deal with the application of economic theory to business practice.
Prerequisite: MBA 500 (co-requisite), MBA 5031, MBA 5032. MBA 500 (co-requisite), MBA 5031, MBA 5032. A survey of the tools and techniques currently employed by financial decision makers when evaluating organizational performance and developing future courses of action. Emphasis will be placed upon working capital management and capital budgeting techniques.
Prerequisite: MBA 500 (co-requisite), MBA 5011, MBA 5012, MBA 5013. MBA 500 (co-requisite), MBA 5011, MBA 5012, MBA 5013. |
