COURSE OUTLINE

I. Course Code and Title : MGT 3202: Engineering Management

II. Credit: : 3
III. Prerequisite : EEE-2215: Engineering Ethics
IV. Course Description

This course provides an opportunity to study and practice the forms of management that students will need for a successful
professional career and to receive the fundamental concept of engineering management. Therefore, this course prepares the
students in three categorical areas: (a) fundamental knowledge of engineering management, (b) psychomotor skills for
application of that knowledge and (c) affective skills for developing appropriate management strategies. The course
therefore meets the students’ needs for all types of conceptual, analytical and organization skills for current professional
domains. This course lets the students analyze various practical case studies covering topics of operations, supply chain,
project and quality management. It also develops students’ skills to solve management related problems in such areas as
productivity, forecasting, inventory management, transportation model, location planning, capacity planning and decision
models. Classroom tasks and assignments are completed both individually and in groups. At the end of the course, students
also develop project management competencies, using software, to deal with diverse academic and industry needs.
