BIU can not perform this evaluation without the complete application for admission.
Courses Description (each subject accounts for 3 credits):
Manufacturing Systems Integration
This course explains the need for the integration of manufacturing systems, and deals with the multitude of practical problems involved with it. Engineering details covered include the types of communication links available between systems, communication standards, and hardware platform alternatives. Management concepts covered include the top-down design/bottom-up implementation approach to system integration, long-range planning and management of integration projects, security issues, and human factors.
Instructor: Earle Taylor
Engineering Systems Simulation
This course explains the methods of developing, implementing, and using computer simulations for management and engineering processes, project monitoring, equipment failure, risk analysis, and forecasting. It includes common simulation and forecasting mistakes, data sources and quality, and presenting and using forecasts and simulation for decision analysis.
Instructor: Luis Fontanet Sallán
Innovation Management
This course studies the methods for transforming organizations to create innovation. It covers diagnosis of opportunities for innovation and development, intervention activities and implementation strategies. It examines problems and issues in integrating technology and innovation into processes and products, management of research and development (R&D); and new product and/or process development according to customer needs.
Instructor: Earle Taylor
Logistics
This program addresses today's complexity of logistics. Logistics is the management of the flow of goods, information and other resources between the point of origin and the point of consumption. Logistics involves the integration of information, transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling, and packaging, and occasionally security.
Instructor: Luis Maria Lopez Gonzalez
