This course focuses on leadership engineering as a complex integration of opportunity, limitations, constraints, and consequences. Topics include principles of assessment and evaluation, and applications of engineering in contemporary issues. This course requires departmental approval if prerequisites are not met.
Learning to evaluate financial performance through interpretation of income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, and project reports is critical an engineering project manager’s success as well as the success of a business. This course teaches the engineering design professional how to read and interpret the income statement, including such components as gross revenue, net revenue, direct and reimbursable expenses, indirect expenses,net profit before taxes, depreciation, gross profit and net profit after taxes. It examines the primary benchmarks of performance.
This course divides into two main components. The first deals with individual leadership development by providing a framework for understanding the elements of an organization’s leader development system. The second part focuses on collective leadership capacity in organizations. This course ties together and integrates many initiatives stemming from different areas of expertise with the primary goal to be to present knowledge in a way that students can use in their efforts to create leadership development experiences.

Prerequisite(s): (EL 3302 w/C or better)
This course covers all basic concepts of systems engineering. The objective is to provide the basic knowledge and tools for transforming an operational need into a well-defined system configuration, through an iterative design process of issue formulation, analysis, optimization, design synthesis, system integration, and testing. If you do not meet the prerequisites please seek departmental approval.
This course is the second in a two-course sequence on developing innovative start-ups. It is intended to give students an opportunity to experience the human- centered commercialization process from start to finish in a single semester. In teams, students will go from a functional prototype to a business model that prepares them for a go/no-go decision. It requires students to conduct empirical experimental through interviews with people in the start-up’s ecosystem, to recognize the impacts of the start-up on the ecosystem, and to function effectively on teams.
