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.

Incompressible and compressible flow theory applied to airplane lifting surfaces and engines. Topics include potential flow theory, the Euler equations, thin airfoil theory, and gas dynamics. A commercial computational fluid dynamics package may be used to visualize the flows.
