Integration of industrial engineering/operations research principles and procedures into the design of an operating system (production/manufacturing, financial, service systems). Selected projects completed by small groups. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BS-IE majors. Prerequisites: M&I-ENG senior standing and completion of all required M&I-ENG courses.
Quantitative techniques of production planning and control, including forecasting, master production scheduling, manufacturing resources planning, operation scheduling, materials management, just-in-time production, and inventory management.
Students will learn fundamental principles of molecular biology and fluid dynamics as they relate to human physiology and disease, with a focus on the cardiovascular, lymphatic and pulmonary systems. The relationship between the forces applied by the blood to blood vessels and heart, lymph to lymphatic vessels and air to the pulmonary airways are explored via formal lectures and journal article discussions. The course will also cover various experimental systems used to quantify cell response to forces. Students will be introduced to concepts of scientific writing.
This course is designed to be a one semester introduction into aerospace propulsion systems with an emphasis on gas turbine and rocket engines. The aero-thermodynamics of these devices will be analyzed using fundamental engineering concepts from thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
