combinatorial auctions, incentives, and supply
chain coordination with contracts. No previous
knowledge of game theory is required.
IEOR E4412y Quality control and management
3 pts. Lect: 3. Professor Latzko.
Prerequisite: SIEO W3600 or W4150. This course
is required for undergraduate students majoring
in IE. Statistical methods for quality control and
improvement: graphical methods, introduction to
experimental design and reliability engineering and
the relationships between quality and productivity.
Contemporary methods used by manufacturing
and service organizations in product and process
design, production and delivery of products and
services.
IEOR E4418y Logistics and transportation
management
3 pts. Lect: 3.
Prerequisite: IEOR E3608 or E4404 or permission
of instructor. Introduces quantitative techniques
and state-of-the-art practice of operations research
relevant to the design and both the tactical
and strategic management of logistical and
transportation systems. Discusses a wide variety of
passenger and freight systems, including air, urban
and highway traffic, rail, and maritime systems.
Explores the practice of revenue management and
dynamic pricing. Through case studies, analyzes
successes and failures in third-party logistics,
postal, truck and rail pickup and delivery systems.
Investigates large-scale integrated logistics and
transportation systems and studies the underlying
principles governing transportation planning,
investment and operations.
IEOR E4500x and y Applications
programming for financial engineering
3 pts. Lect: 3. Professor Bienstock.
Prerequisite: Computer programming or
instructor’s approval. This course is required for
undergraduate students majoring in OR:FE. In
this course we will take a hands-on approach to
developing computer applications for Financial
Engineering. Special focus will be placed on
high-performance numerical applications that
interact with a graphical interface. In the course
of developing such applications we will learn how
to create DLLs, how to integrate VBA with C/
C++ programs, and how to write multithreaded
programs. Examples of problems settings that
we consider include simulation of stock price
evolution, tracking, evaluation and optimization of
a stock portfolio; optimal trade execution. In the
course of developing these applications, we review
topics of interest to OR:FE in a holistic fashion.
IEOR E4510y Project management
3 pts. Lect: 3. Professor Rosenwein.
Prerequisites: IEOR E4004 (or IEOR E3608).
Management of complex projects and the tools
that are available to assist managers with such
projects. Topics include: project selection,
project teams and organizational issues,
project monitoring and control, project risk
management, project resource management,
and managing multiple projects.
IEOR E4550x and y Entrepreneurial business
creation for engineers
3 pts. Lect: 3. Professor Gulley.
Prerequisite: ENGI W2261. This course is required
for undergraduate students majoring in OR:EMS.
Introduces the basic concepts and methodologies
that are used by the non-engineering part of the
world in creating, funding, investing in, relating to,
and operating entrepreneurial ventures. The first
half of the course focuses on the underpinning
principles and skills required in recognizing,
analyzing, evaluating, and nurturing a business idea.
The second half focuses on basic legal knowledge
necessary in creating a business entity, defending
your business assets, and in promoting effective
interaction with other individuals and organizations.
IEOR E4600y Applied integer programming
3 pts. Lect: 3. Professor Iyengar.
Prerequisites: Linear programming, linear algebra,
and computer programming. This course is
required for undergraduate students majoring in
OR. Applications of mathematical programming
techniques, especially integer programming, with
emphasis on software implementation. Typical
applications: capacity expansion, network design,
and scheduling.
IEOR E4601y Dynamic pricing and revenue
management
3 pts. Lect: 3. Professor Gallego.
Prerequisites: SIEO W4150 and IEOR E4004.
Focus on capacity allocation, dynamic pricing and
revenue management. Perishable and/or limited
product and pricing implications. Applications to
various industries including service, airlines, hotel,
resource rentals, etc.
