Engineering-Economic Systems (EES)
EES is a problem-solving discipline applying engineering principles to
application areas beyond those traditionally considered part of
engineering. EES graduates are trained to think about problems in ways
others do not, recognizing underlying objectives and structuring
unfamiliar as well as familiar situations.
The basic course work is organized around a unique, coherent
combination of problem-solving concepts drawn from the fields of
dynamics, probability, optimization, economics, and decision analysis.
Students are then encouraged to broaden and enrich these s kills
through electives in other departments of their choice such as
Business, Economics, Computer Science, Industrial Engineering,
Operations Research, Mathematics, etc.
Although mathematical analysis using formal models and logical
representations is emphasized, this analysis is complemented by careful
attention to the framing of issues, the formulation of problems, and
the implementation of results. While our students (and faculty) are
highly skilled in mathematics and methodology, they are motivated by
the applications rather than purely by abstract extensions.
Many
EES graduates have become leaders in technology-based businesses. Such
businesses have an increasing need for well-educated,
analytically-oriented people who understand both business and
technology. The EES program is attractive to engineering professionals
because it enhances their technical training with the conceptual
framework needed to analyze problems of production, investment,
marketing, and strategic planning in a technical environment.
