My philosophy of
study is learning the fundamental principles that later can be applied in
various areas. For example, we were taught mathematics and later we can
apply the theories to various engineering and business problems.
The following courses are that I have taken in UIUC. |

| ADV 484 |
Advertising and Consumer Behavior Grade: A |
|
|
Examines consumer behavior as a means of shaping the communications message; use of the behavioral sciences in communication strategy. |
||
| GE 495 | Planning and Management of Engineering Design Projects Grade: A | |
| The first component of the course addresses advanced topics in linear programming with special emphasis upon duality relationships and post optimality analysis. The second component addresses issues in Monte Carlo simulation analysis. Several case studies are included to provide real-world applications primarily in the manufacturing sector. Quantitative evaluation and optimization of project plans, using mathematical programming, multiple-criteria decision making and discrete event simulation, optimal design and sizing of engineering projects. | ||

Operations Research Models for Manufacturing Systems Grade: A |
|
| This course provides an introduction to the use of operations research techniques to problems in manufacturing and distribution. Topics covered include single and multistage lot sizing problems, scheduling and sequencing problems, and performance evaluation of manufacturing systems. | ||

| BAMD 315 |
Enterprise Process Integration and Dynamics Grade: A |
|
|
Enterprise-level study of a business that focuses on the integration and management of many interrelated processes. The course focuses on planning and control aspects of operations. Topics include: scheduling, forecasting, aggregate planning, manufacturing resource planning, and inventory management. |
||
| BAMD 478 | Stochastic Models in Management Science Grade: A | |
| Application of several important stochastic processes, including Markov chains, birth-and-death, and renewal, to describe, analyze, and design systems of interest in management science, including queues, inventory, production, brand loyalty, stock market, and other applications. | ||
| ECON 300 | Microeconomic Theory Grade: A | |
| Introduction to the models and methods of modern microeconomic theory, concentrating on individual and firm decision making and on industry equilibrium; brief treatment of general equilibrium theory and welfare analysis. Topics include: consumer utility and demand theory; production and cost functions; firm supply, input demand, and price behavior; competitive, monopolistic, and oligopolistic industry analysis; and distribution theory. | ||
| ECON 301 | Macroeconomic Theory Grade: A | |
| Development of modern macroeconomic theory, including national income accounts and their relation to input-output tables; classical, Keynesian, and monetarist aggregate models; behavior hypotheses of consumption, investment, and government; properties and the role of money and interest; foreign trade and investment; price rigidity, price flexibility, and employment; wage-price interaction and inflation; and ad hoc stabilization models. | ||
| GE 493 | Design for Six Sigma Grade: A | |
| Design for Six Sigma is strategic experimentation, connecting Design of Experiment outcomes to bottom-line business objectives. This course builds upon the foundation of Taguchi methods but there are three major departures: the most important being the evaluation of system, subsystem and component design versus Taguchi’s focus on component design. In addition, cash flow is used in place of Taguchi’s Signal to Noise Ratio. Also, his cost of inferior quality is replaced by a positive quality measure defined as value to the customer. | ||
