Operations Research Methods for Systems Engineering

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course will introduce non-industrial engineering students to operations research models and methodologies to optimize the design, development and operation of engineered systems. The objectives of this course will be to provide students with the skills to solve a variety of linear and non-linear models and the ability to recognize how such models can be applied in a wide variety of engineering disciplines. Topics to be covered include linear programming, integer programming, network models, decision analysis, dynamic programming, queuing models, and non-linear optimization. Applications will focus on diverse areas of engineering including mining, transportation, and environmental management. PREREQUISITES: ENGM 2032.03
