ENGM 435/535 Optimization Techniques

Credits: (3-0) 3

The course develops basic judgment and competence in using quantitative methods in engineering or management decisions. Students will study various types of linear programming techniques, including simplex, transportation and assignment methods and post-optimal sensitivity analysis. In addition, network-type problems, critical-path methods, dynamic and decision tree techniques will be covered. Some basic mathematical theory is taught and the computer is used to solve both assigned problems and problems developed by the student in a particular field of interest.

Notes: Students enrolled in ENGM 535 will be held to a higher standard than those enrolled in ENGM 435.
