Engineering Economics
Topics include investment decisions, theory of replacement, economies of scale, externalities, social decision making and government regulation. Examples are drawn from engineering projects.
Project Management I
Introduces techniques that provide rational solutions to a range of project management decision-making problems encountered in engineering projects. Students are expected to gain a detailed understanding of some of the techniques, tools and processes available and their application in planning and managing engineering and construction projects. The course covers project management fundamentals including project planning and scheduling techniques, cash flow forecasting, performance evaluations and decision analysis. Introduction to operations research.
