MGTSC-MIN - Management Science and Engineering (Minor)

The mission of the undergraduate program in Management Science and Engineering is to provide students with the fundamentals of engineering systems analysis so that they are able to plan, design, and implement complex economic and technical management systems. The program builds on foundational courses in calculus and linear algebra. The undergraduate minor allows students to explore some of the undergraduate program in MS&E to complement their undergraduate major.

AP/IB credit does not apply toward this degree.

The department expects undergraduate majors in the program to be able to demonstrate the following learning outcomes. These learning outcomes are used in evaluating students and the department's undergraduate program. Students are expected to be able:

1. to apply knowledge of mathematics, social science, and engineering;

2. to design and conduct experiments;

3. to design a system and components to meet desired needs;

4. to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems;

5. to use techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice;

6. to function on multidisciplinary teams;

7. to communicate effectively;

8. to recognize the need for and demonstrate an ability to engage in life-long learning;

9. to obtain the background necessary for admission to top graduate engineering or professional programs;

10. to understand professional and ethical responsibility;

11. to obtain the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context; and

12. to obtain a knowledge of contemporary issues pertinent to the field of management science and engineering.
