Project Finance
|
![View Details](App_Themes/ClassicUMKC/Images/magnifier.png) |
|
This course introduces students to the financial concepts faced by engineers. Students will learn how to read and apply financial statements and how to use these same financial concepts in developing pro formas to evaluate and support major capital investments. The effect of time on the value of money, appropriate discount factors, and the internal rate of return are explored in the class. All students will be required to develop a comprehensive financial model to evaluate/justify a real world capital project.

Experimental Design & Analysis
|
![View Details](App_Themes/ClassicUMKC/Images/magnifier.png) |
|
Presentation of concepts and methods of statistical analysis and the design of experiments. Concepts, techniques, interpretation, and use of results are stressed. Focus is on experimental strategy and objectives, and the application of the methods discussed, rather than the mechanics of derivation. Major sections include: a review of hypothesis testing and basic analysis of variance techniques; single factor experiments including 2k and 3k design, confounding, and Taguchi philosophy; nested and split plot designs; analysis of covariance and an introduction to response surface methods.
