GE 598 class schedule data for fall 2008
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
47679	Lecture-Discussion	AY1	6:00PM -8:50PM	M	Transportation Building	Viswanathan, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/08-12/10/08 Special Approval: Departmental Approval Required Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Prod & Mkt Devel for Sub Mktpl. Course enrollment is by application only, due March 16th. The first course may be taken separately, however, room in the second course is not guaranteed. Priority will be given to students planning to register in the two course sequence. Course meets in 215 TRANSPORTATION BUILDING.
41135	Lecture-Discussion	FEM	1:00PM -2:50PM	W	Engineering Hall	Morris, J Lilly, B	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/08-12/10/08 Credit: 2 hours Section Info: Topic: Finance for Engineering Mgmt. Cornerstone financial concepts for engineering management to enable analysis of engineering projects from a financial perspective: income statements; the balance sheet; cash flow statements; corporate organization; the time value of money; net present value; discounted cash flow analysis and portfolio theory. Prerequisite: STAT 400. Restriction(s): Not intended for Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
42849	Lecture-Discussion	HMK	11:00AM -12:40PM	MW	Engineering Hall	Kim, H	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/08-12/10/08 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Optimal Product Design & Devel. This course is designed to address the fundamental theories for optimal system realization (planning, design and development): 1) System planning involves demand modeling, customers' preference analysis, and profit modeling under uncertainty, 2) System design involves the fundamentals of engineering optimization theory, 3) System development involves analytical problem formulation to achieve the performance targets assigned at the enterprise level and the engineering design level. Students will learn core components of modeling, solving, and validating optimization models in a mathematically rigorous manner. Individual or group semester project is required.Prerequisite: MATH 225 or equivalent, recommended:Prior knowledge on algorithm and optimization will be helpful, but not required. For engineering graduate students only. Restriction(s): Not intended for Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
51334	Lecture-Discussion	JP	3:00PM -4:15PM	MW	Mechanical Engineering Bldg	Peng, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/08-12/10/08 Credit: 3 hours Section Info: Topic: Optimization in Finance. Introduces and discusses both continuous (including linear, quadratic, conic, robust, and stochastic programming problems) and discrete optimization problems (including integer programming and dynamic programming problems) encountered in financial models.
50660	Lecture-Discussion	SC	4:00PM -4:50PM	F	Transportation Building	Chopra, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/08-12/10/08 Credit: 1 hours Section Info: Topic: Venture Funded Startups-Venture Capital has become an increasingly important source of financing for technology based startups over the past 15 years. However the process and task of raising venture capital remains largely a black art to students and first time entrepreneurs. Without much prior knowledge they are often forced to negotiate terms of investment with professional investors largely on their own, sometimes making costly mistakes! This course is designed to introduce students to the concepts, tools, and language used by Venture Capitalists (VC�s). In particular we will look at how VC�s evaluate, value, and structure new companies. Prerequisites: Math 463, GE 598 FEM Finance for Engineering Managers, GE 598 IS Technology Innovation and Strategy , GE/TE 461 (GE 498 TE1 Technology Entrepreneurship). For seniors and graduate students only. Restriction(s): Not intended for students with Freshman, Sophomore, or Junior class standing.
