Textbook: Practical Management Science, Wayne L. Winston & S. Christian Albright; Duxbury Press, ISBN 0-534-42435-X Software: Microsoft Excel Course Objectives: The objective of the course is to familiarize the students with the operations research approach and to provide managers with an understanding of the implications of their resource allocation decisions. This objective will be achieved by studying various methods as described in the class schedule. The course is intended to prepare the student to use various methods for the control of technical systems and for testing the sensitivity of their decisions.
The expectation for a good grade is that the student completes their assignment/tests on time and with as much clarity and accuracy as possible. Blanks or no answer are unacceptable in the work place and therefore are not at the School of Engineering. It is often in the attempt that most learning occurs. Grading: A = 90 to 100 pts, B = 80 to 89 pts, C = 70 to 79 pts. Homework: Most of the homework will from the textbook. The purpose of this is to enhance the relevancy of the course material. Students may be asked to present their solutions to the class. Homework will be collected and graded on the quality and clarity of the solutions. Schedule (as of 1/14/04)
