MASTER OF ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT STUDY DETAILS

Engineering Management Science: Case studies of making hard decisions through decision tools like Microsoft Decision tools (Palisade). Learned how to make decisions based on sensitivity analysis, Solver table.

Technical Project Management: Learned Earned Value Management, Project Scheduling, Project Manager responsibilities, Management and Leadership, Dealing with difficult people, Personality and Preference, Management antipatterns, Environmental antipatterns, Negotiation, Work breakdown structure, Metrics and Measurement, Finance and Risk Management. Project work involved the post-mortem analysis of previous project I worked; the outcomes, lessons learned and useful applications for future projects.

Engineering Management Strategy: Capstone project to apply all the principles studied in engineering management. Project was to identify key issues in a Mushroom Farming facility in Pennsylvania and suggest solutions. The key issues solved were inefficient resource utilization, contamination due to fallen stems, barn layout optimization. Tools used Kanban board, 3D printer, Solid works, Decision Tree, Sensitivity analysis, Lean Management.

Decision and Risk Analysis in Engineering: Is the analysis, mathematical modelling and management of the safety of engineering systems using probabilistic methods and systems analysis. Theoretically sound and practical tools for decision making under uncertainty, multi-criteria decision making, group decision making, the value of information, and risk management. The tools like Palisade, @Risk, Decision tree, and sensitivity analysis are used.

Systems Engineering: Fundamental principles of systems engineering and their application to the development of complex systems. Vensim tool used for analysis. Project work “What lead to the banning of Endosulfan (a pesticide)” - it is detail study to find the real issue that lead to the outcome. In systems thinking; root causes should be identified and system should be looked as a whole.

Invention and Creative Design: Project works on Product Redesign and Design Experiment. The process of patent works, creative thinking, critical thinking, the constraints and prototyping are analysed in redesign. Design experiment is to investigate research question, formulating Hypothesis and the experiment validates the research question.

Economics and Financial Studies for Engineers: Application of Economic principles in the engineering decisions. It involves formulating, estimating, and evaluating the economic outcomes when alternatives to accomplish a defined purpose are available. Finance is a conceptual framework that unites corporate finance, investments, and financial institutions and shows how firms should be managed to increase wealth. Tools are Net Present Value analysis. Project work of “Project Management for the construction of a new nuclear power plant” from construction to a life cycle of 40years was analysed in perspective of economics and financial terms.

Lean Six Sigma: Theory and Application, Continuous Improvement and Customer driven. Tools used, Minitab, Excel, IGrafx, Statistics, and FMEA. Learned House of Lean Management, Lean Management Systems, Waste Identification and Quantification, Lean Concepts, Tools, and Methods, Facilitating Lean Management Systems, Control Charts, Value stream Mapping, Regression, Hypothesis testing and Design of experiments

Agile Business Analysis: Overview of Agile and Scrum, Business needs/Requirements, Theme, EPICS and Stories, writing user stories, prioritizing and estimating.

Engineering Law: Application of laws and legal strategy in engineering. Case studies of how law interacts with industry. Survey of legal topics relevant to engineers, including intellectual property, torts, and contracts. Analysis on Frye and Daubert Standards, NSPE code of ethics.

Creativity and Problem Solving: Kirton’s Adaption and Innovation (KAI) theory emphasizing the interactions between work on the Creative Problem-Solving process and the psychology of the person. Analysing individually and team performance while in a team of different scale of KAI style score. Learned Problem-Solving Schema, Level & Style, Characteristics of Adaptors and Innovators, Management Diversity, Coping Behaviour, paradigm.
