This course is designed to combine the why of leadership thinking with the how of leadership skill development. The class is both philosopical and practical, so you will have to both think and apply what you are learning. The course will provide students with opportunities to use theories to analyze leader behaviors, and with personal awareness and development. You will come out of the class with a Leadership Development Plan of your own to help you apply the class to your own development as a leader and manager.

This course is designed to provide students with the theory and practical applications to diagnose organizational problems and to develop appropriate interventions and solutions to those problems. Students also use theory to guide practice in designing and implementing successful organizational change. These activities require students to use research and data analysis skills to gather data to learn about organizations.

This course uses a strategic and integrative approach to global marketing decision making in a global economy. It provides an understanding of international marketing strategies and operations of both beginning and multinational firms. The web based Global Marketing Management Online software will be utilized extensively throughout the course.

Financing investments and working capital management problems in multi-national environments.

The purpose of this course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the policies, strategies and operations of companies doing business internationally.

Provides a comprehensive framework for the application of marketing concepts to the development and implementation of marketing strategy. The course emphasizes the activities and processes needed to design a marketing plan.

The Executive Seminar provides the opportunity for students to interact directly with visiting executives in order to gain insight into the challenges in leading a modern complex business organization. Personal communication skills, reflective learning, critical thinking assignments, and career planning exercises help shape executive development.

This course examines policy problems of profit and non-profit organizations, including top management problem solving and decision making; planning; appraising the business environment; evaluating financial, human and physical resources; forecasting; developing and implementing objectives and strategies; evaluating alternatives; and monitoring results and social responsibility through case analysis and/or management simulation. This course also emphasizes the evaluation and development of capabilities and competencies in pursuit of competitive advantage.

Students participate in research proposals/projects or consulting projects.

The course provides students the opportunity to study current problems faced by private businesses and government organizations, or topics of special interest to the faculty member.

Individual, supervised experience in a business firm or government agency.

Survey of core concepts and methods of modeling and simulation. This course includes a broad array of computer laboratory based exercises, and a student-designed project by the end of the course.

Survey of core concepts, methods, and applications of data-driven modeling and big data analysis. Each topic is designed as a weekly module and the course includes a broad array of computer laboratory based exercises, real world problems based case studies, and a student-designed term project.

Seminar course in which students present and defend the modeling and simulation work undertaken in the required discipline-based capstone/individual study course.

This course offers an introduction to the various disciplines of engineering and their relationship to the principles of physics and mathematics. Students are prepared for academic success and the transition into an engineering program.
