Academic Program
EM 513 - OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
This course deals with techniques for the analysis of operations in manufacturing and distribution, with the aim of allocating resources and optimizing their performance. The information obtained in this module will allow the student to carry out quantitative analyzes of the operations, as well as planning for future expansions. You can get more information on this topic at www.scienceofbetter.org.
EM 561 - STATISTICS FOR ENGINEERS
This course provides students with general coverage of topics related to basic statistics, including descriptive statistics, discrete and continuous probability distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and linear regression.
EM 670 - ENGINEERING FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
This course covers accounting methods and basic cost accounting methods that are applied in manufacturing, construction, and other engineering systems. Additionally, it also covers the methods for estimating labor costs, material costs and general expenses. Estimation techniques are applied to products, processes, and systems.
EM 525 - PROJECT MANAGEMENT
This course includes the use of network techniques, resource allocation heuristics, and other methods of planning, managing, and controlling engineering projects involving research, development, production, maintenance, and construction.
EM 628 - MANAGEMENT ENGINEERING
This course looks at organization, personnel management principles, and the role of the Engineering Director, based on Barnard’s classic approach “The functions of the Executive”.
IE 541 – SIMULATION
The objective of this course is to provide the student with a basic knowledge of simulation models, especially those used in manufacturing and service systems, for the evaluation and analysis of new system designs, modifications to existing systems, and proposed changes to control systems and operating standards.
IE - 631 ADVANCED QUALITY CONTROL
This course covers advanced techniques for improving quality and process control, including techniques for SCP (“Statistical Control Process”) and Taguchi’s methods for experimental design. It also broadly covers ISO standards, quality management and productivity improvement.
EM 646 – MARKETING AND THE ENGINEER
The objective of this course is to provide the student with the knowledge to develop the financial information management system of the logistics company, which allows guaranteeing competitive capacity in the long term through decision-making with timely, useful and reliable data, which are based on a cost system based on activities, and that allow knowing the resources that are consumed and evaluating whether those resources generate value.
IEM 694 – ENGINEERING CORPORATE STRATEGY
This course covers topics related to manufacturing processes, product design, production planning, inventory control, quality control and the flow of data and information through the supply chain to match the quality of the product and its cost.
EM 699 – ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT PROJECT
In this course the student develops an engineering project, prepares a written report on the project, and presents an oral report to teachers and fellow students. The student will be guided by a teacher, according to the subject area selected for the project.
