Teaching

 

My current teaching interests include simulation modeling and system dynamics, systems engineering process, product development, and project management. I organize my courses around hand on practice, team based exercises, and projects and usually have less solo lecturing and exams compared to other courses. Here are a list of courses I teach with brief information about each:

 

ENGR 5104- Systems Engineering Process Core Course

A graduate course on system dynamics and systems thinking. Sterman’s Business Dynamics is the text book for the course. Evaluation includes assignments and personal project, as well as critique of projects by other students. The course is offered both online and in the classroom through video broadcast services.

See the Fall 06 syllabus.

 

ISE 5984/6024- Advanced Dynamic Modeling

A second graduate level course in system dynamics and simulation modeling techniques. The course covers both hands-on experience of client interaction through modeling-consulting projects, and advanced topics in building and analysis of dynamic models. The syllabus for Spring 07 offering of the course is available here.

If you may have projects in your organization that fit well for this class, please see the project proposal invitation and send me a note with more information. I will consider proposals for future offerings of the course or for small research collaborations.

 

ENGR 5004- Systems Engineering Applications

This course covers the systems engineering process including concept and preliminary design, detailed design, implementation and production, system use, and disposal. Several tools are introduced for successfully designing and implementing a new system. Blanchard and Fabrycky’s Systems Engineering and Analysis is the course text. It is one of the core courses for systems engineering master program at ISE and is offered in spring semesters.  

 

ISE 5134- Enterprise Information Systems

This is a survey course of different aspects of information systems’ applications in organizations and enterprises. Many different topics, from technical to organizational, are covered in the course however we do not go into research-depth on most of the areas given the large amount of material to cover. Laudon and Laudon’s Management Information Systems book is the text for this course and it is offered in the spring semester.
