Prerequisites: Probability and Statistics at the level of SIEO W3600 or SIEO W4150, and Deterministic Models at the level of IEOR E3608 or IEOR E4004, or instructor permission.

Required course for MSIE.
This course provides an introduction to important topics in Production and Operations Management. We introduce quantitative models and solution techniques for a wide variety of production planning and inventory management problems faced by a number of businesses that regularly solve these problems in the face of uncertainties in various critical components such as demand, costs and lead times. We discuss managerial insights from the models to strengthen our understanding of the problems faced by a production and operations manager. This course should appeal to Masters (EMS, IE and OR) and undergraduate students (EMS, IE and OR) in the IEOR department, and students with some quantitative background from the Civil Engineering & Engineering Mechanics department. This course cannot be taken by undergraduates without advisor approval.

INTRO TO ROMANIAN CULTURE

This course addresses the main problems that contribute to the making of Romanian identity, as fragmented or as controversial as it may seem to those who study it. The aim is to become familiar with the deepest patterns of Romanian identity, as we encounter it today, either in history, political studies, fieldwork in sociology or, simply, when we interact with Romanians. By using readings and presentations produced by Romanian specialists, we aim to be able to see the culture with an "insider's eye", as much as we can. This perspective will enable us to develop mechanisms of understanding the Romanian culture and mentality independently, at a more profound level and to reason upon them.

CORPORATE FINANCE FOR ENGINEERS

Prerequisites: Probability and Statistics at the level of SIEO W3600 or SIEO W4150, and Deterministic Models at the level of IEOR E3608 or IEOR E4004, or instructor permission.
This course is required for all undergraduate students majoring in IE, OR:EMS, OR:FE and OR. This course discusses how to allocate capital to projects within a firm in order to maximize the value of the firm to its shareholders. We describe how an investment project can be characterized by its cash flow profile, i.e., the amount and timing of costs and benefits of this project in the planning horizon. We show how firms should take into account the cost of capital, budgets, taxes, depreciation, inflation, and uncertainty, in order to decide which projects to undertake, reject, or postpone. This course is a good preparation for positions in investment banking, consulting, private equity, venture capital, corporate finance, and construction management, and for entrepreneurs. Students can take only one of IEOR E4003 and IEOR E4403, but not both.

OPTIMIZATION MODELS AND METHODS

Prerequisites: Refer to course syllabus.

This graduate course is only for MS&E, IE and OR students.  This is also required for students in the Undergraduate Advanced Track.
This class is an introduction to the fundamental methods used in deterministic operations research. Topics covered will include linear programming, network flows, dynamic programming, and nonlinear programming. While we shall discuss the underlying theory with some occasional proofs, the emphasis will be on modeling. Applications of these ideas in various settings will be discussed. Students will learn modeling skills, and develop the ability to build, analyze, and reason logically with models. They will also learn to design and analyze algorithms, and to distinguish good algorithms from not-so good ones. They will also appreciate the capabilities and limitations of deterministic models in operations research.
