Master
of Science in Engineering Management:
New
ENMA Courses
The following are bulletin descriptions for modified
and new ENMA courses. Note: As therse
courses come on line, some modification to existing course numbers and descriptions
will be performed.
·
ENMA 278 – Lean Manufacturing Systems: The course focuses on designing,
implementing, and optimizing high-performance cost-effective manufacturing
systems. Lean, mass, and craft production paradigms
will be compared, with emphasis placed on the benefits and implementation of
the lean principles of value stream, flow, pull, and waste. Student teams will prepare, analyze, and
propose optimized value streams for real-world manufacturing systems.
·
ENMA 279 – Engineering
Six Sigma Design and Development: This
course focuses on designing and developing high-performance, high reliability
technology-based products, processes, and services through the application of
six-sigma principles, tools, and processes.
Student teams will apply six-sigma approaches to real-world projects in
preparation for six-sigma green belt certification.
·
ENMA 281 – Engineering Project Management: Applies collaboration tools such
as MS Project to organize and direct global virtual teams developing technology-based
products and services. Focus is on
optimizing projects under the triple constraints of time, resources, and
quality. Student projects will provide
hands-on experience in applying tools and methods to balance multiple and
varying constraints in a real-world environment. Includes overview of financial statement
analysis for engineers.
·
ENMA 282 – Reliability, Failure Analysis, and Risk
Assessment: Provides
current and perspective engineering managers with an overview of topics
critical to providing products and services which meet cost and reliability
requirements, including qualitative and quantitative models of reliability,
failure, and risk for hardware, software, and large complex systems. Student team projects provide an opportunity
to apply these models to real-world systems.
·
ENMA 283 – Innovation and Technology: Explores the use of technologies
such as data mining, neural networks, genetic algorithms, and public resource
computing to improve and accelerate innovation, entrepreneurship, and general
human decision making processes. This
course provides current and perspective managers with an overview of how these
technologies can be applied to generate better, faster, and cheaper products,
processes, and decisions. Student
projects will apply these technologies to the development and/or improvement of
real-world analysis and decision-making processes.
·
ENMA 286 – New Product
and Process Portfolio Management: Models
technology-based product and process development lifecycles, including:
valuation and prioritization of projects, pursuit of government contracts,
outsourcing/offshoring criteria, and the challenges of R&D in a global
environment. Student teams will analyze
and apply best practices from industry to the management of a portfolio of
projects from sources such as the projects generated and executed by student
teams in other ENMA courses.
·
ENMA 287 – Front-End Engineering Product Development: Prepares students to fill the
fuzzy front end of the new product/service pipeline with innovative and
commercially-viable concepts. Includes
voice-of-the-customer and ideation processes and techniques. Students facilitate “live” ideation sessions
held with industry and university partners to generate a portfolio of
innovative new product/process/service/technology opportunities.
·
ENMA 288 – System Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis: Presents a range of qualitative and
quantitative mapping, modeling, and analysis tools and processes that enable
complete and concise specification, operating description, and performance and
reliability assessment of complex products, processes, and services. Student
projects involve assessment of real-world industrial systems. Approaches include process flow diagrams,
data flow diagrams, state transition diagrams, Monte-Carlo simulation, and TRIZ
problem/solution modeling.
·
ENMA 290 – Management Issues in Engineering and Technology: Presents topics of special
interest to current and perspective engineering managers. Facilitated by ENMA faculty, this course
incorporates guest lectures by industry representatives. Offered
occasionally, course title varies, title and content announced prior to each
offering. Students may enroll more than
once because subject matter changes.
·
ENMA 291 – Engineering Innovation and Entrepreneurship: In this course, student teams integrate ENMA course learning and
experience with ENMA course projects to generate a “technology
commercialization prospectus” that describes a viable channel to market for a
particular innovative technology-based product, process, or service. Special topics include technology roadmapping
and intellectual property generation in a global environment.
·
ENMA 294. Practicum for Research and Development in
Engineering Management. 3 sem. hrs. Provides students enrolled in the M.S in engineering
management program with significant educational and practical
opportunities to participate in the practice of research and/or
development in the area of engineering management as an integral part of
the program curriculum. Students who plan to take this course
must follow the Course Guideline available from the practicum director.
At most six credits may be counted toward graduation. Offered
every term. Prereq: 3.00 MU Q.P.A.; completed at least twenty
one credits in MS-engineering management program.
