EM 208 FLUID MECHANICS

Credits: 3 (2,1,2). Prerequisites: PHYS 205
Course Catalog:

This course introduces basic principles of fluid mechanics. Topics include fluid properties, statics,
forces on plane and curve surfaces, kinematics of fluid motion, integral and differential
representation of conservation of mass, balance of linear and angular momentum, the first Law
of Thermodynamics, continuity equation, Bernoulli’s equation, energy principle, dimensional
analysis, and elementary viscous flow. Frictional losses, simple pipeline analysis and steady
channel flow are covered.

EM 315 MANAGEMENT OF ORGANIZATIONS AND HUMAN RESOURCES
Credits: 3 (3,0,0) Prerequisites: Junior Level Standing

Course Catalog:
This course introduces effective management of individuals and teams in the context of dynamic
organizations. This course provides an introduction to the management of human resources at
the organizational level. The orientation of the course is toward developing managerial skills
useful in establishing organizational personnel policy. Focus is on how effective organizational and
human resource management practices can create competitive advantages for organizations.
Specific topics include leadership, organizational design, structure, diversity, culture, strategy, the
role of human resources in the management process, human-resources planning and forecasting,
job information systems, recruitment and selection, human-resources development,
compensation, performance evaluation, managing diversity, and expatriate management.

EM 326 PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Credits: 3 (3,1,0) Prerequisites: STAT 101, EM 315
Course Catalog:

This course introduces functions and techniques for effective management of systems
development and effective project leadership. Project definition, phases, and work breakdown.
Scope, risk, configuration, and quality management. Cost and time estimation. Tools for planning,
scheduling, monitoring and controlling of project development.

EM 335 OPERATIONS RESEARCH
Credits: 3 (3,1,0). Prerequisites: EE 101, STAT 101, MATH 225

Course Catalog:
This course studies resource optimization through mathematical programming. The course starts
with teaching the art of mathematical modeling for engineering and management problems.
Emphasis is placed on applications of forecasting and optimization models to typical engineering
management problems. Topics include problem formulation, mathematical model building, linear
programming, Simplex algorithm, duality, game theory, queuing theory, dynamic programming,
nonlinear programming. Applications to transportation, assignment, resource allocation,
scheduling, routing, and facility location/layout problems will be shown. Post-optimality analysis
is studied from the viewpoint of technology management. The course includes a term project
involving a real-life problem.
