EM384 focuses on the application of deterministic and probabilistic models used by analysts to make engineering and management decisions. Cadets learn to apply various modeling techniques to represent and solve real-world organizational problems in the military and industry. Topics include: linear and integer programming, network modeling, decision making under uncertainty, and simulation modeling. Cadets apply concepts and tools using Microsoft Excel in a variety of computing environments. The techniques taught in this course have been applied to an increasingly wide variety of complex problems in business, government, military, health care, and education. Ethical responsibilities in describing the results of analyses to decision makers are integrated throughout the course. Cadets make innovative use of spreadsheets to develop and analyze models. Cadets are tested on the application of course concepts from the five blocks of instruction during four graded labs, four problem sets, and a comprehensive term-end exam.

Cadets learn to apply various modeling techniques to represent and solve real-world organizational problems in the military and industry. Topics include: linear and integer programming, network modeling, decision making under uncertainty, queuing, and simulation modeling. Cadets apply concepts and tools using Microsoft Excel within a computer lab environment. The techniques taught in this course have been applied to an increasingly wide variety of complex problems in business, government, military, health care, and education. Ethical responsibilities in describing the results of analyses to decision makers are integrated throughout the course. Cadets develop communication skills through two written reports and make innovative use of spreadsheets to develop and analyze models. Cadets are tested on the application of course concepts from the four blocks of instruction during two graded labs, two out-of-classroom projects, two problem sets, and two in-class WPRs. Cadets will spend several lessons in a computer lab environment.
