18. 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.

19. Course Outcomes: At the end of the Course, the Student will be able to:

CLO1 Relate the fundamental concept of engineering management in global environment.

CLO2 Explain how companies can achieve competitive advantages through value-added planning and strategy
CLO3 Analyze various practical issues covering topics of operations, supply chain, project and quality management.
