Courses
Information: strategy & economics
Introduction to the economics of information and its strategic ramifications. The main objectives are to use economic theory to understand strategic interactions in the presence of uncertainty, estimate the value of information, and to analyze competitive strategy in an information economy.
Innovation & entrepreneurship in engineering
This course is a joint initiative between the School of Engineering and the College of Management to encourage and promote entrepreneurship and management skills, engineering design, hands-on experience, teamwork, and awareness of social and ethical implications in engineering and management.
Microeconomics
This course presents a first introduction to microeconomic theory and its applications. It lays the foundation for more advanced courses.
