Introduction to Project Management (MGT609)
Introduces project management—the administration of a temporary organization of human and material resources within a permanent organization to achieve a specific objective. You consider both operational and conceptual issues. You learn to deal with planning, implementation, control, and evaluation from an operational perspective. In the conceptual arena, you study matrix organization, project authority, motivation, and morale and explore the differences and similarities between project and hierarchical management. You investigate cases that illustrate problems posed by project management and how they might be resolved.

Introduction to Telecommunications Concepts TM550
Broad introduction to telecommunications, targeting important terms and concepts in networking and networking architectures. Understand the essential role the industry plays in today's business environment. Examine major components of a typical network. Explore principal elements in enterprise networks, network access, and core networks. Acquire knowledge of key networking technologies-frame relay, ATM, ADSL, and mobile wireless networks as well as networking services and applications and the chief industry players in key segments. Exploring the landscape of international telecommunications, you will also acquire a brief history of the industry as well as an overview of the regulatory environment and challenges in today's networks. If you do not possess a background in communications technologies, but you wish to concentrate in Stevens' Telecommunications Management graduate program, you may be required to enroll in this non-credit course to prior to enrolling in TM601.

Managerial Accounting (MGT600)
An introduction to elements of financial accounting, cost-profit-volume analysis, and manufacturing costs. Learn about elements of cost accounting, special decision analysis, budgeting, variances, controllability, and responsibility accounting. Become proficient in the use of accounting analyses used form managerial decision-making purposes. Prerequisite: MGT503 or its equivalent.

Engineering Economics and Management Policy MGT618
Cover the discipline of engineering economics and how it influences management policy and decision making. Learn about the selection process for capital investments, both tangible and intangible. Find out how this process is structured and constrained by the time value of money, the source of funds, market demand, and competitive position. Focus on deterministic analyses based on single-valued estimates and risk analysis based on multi-valued estimates. Apply capital budgeting, probability analysis, and uncertainty techniques.

Statistical Models (MGT620)
The major portion of the course covers an introduction to the probabilistic and statistical concepts and models used in day-to-day business decisionmaking. Topics include data analysis, correlational techniques, regression, statistical inference and forecasting.

Total Quality Management (MGT656)
Emphasizes applications of principles and techniques of TQM to technical organizations. You appreciate management philosophy and concepts and you critique "quality gurus." You are introduced to TQM tools, techniques, models, and strategy. You come to understanding the importance and implementation of the Department of Defense 5000.51-G TQM guidelines. You review and critique the Deming and Baldridge Awards, as well as the principles and practices of concurrent engineering, quality function, deployment and design for cost. To sharpen your skills, you become part of a team analyzing the concepts and techniques in a TQM case study.

E-business Security and Information Assurance - CS/TM694
Addresses security of e-business and other cyber environments, especially data center and access requirements. Emphasizes information security phases of inspection, protection, detection, reaction, and reflection. You explore security at application, transport and network levels and learn about virtual local area networks (VLAN), secure access, secure financial transactions, backup and disaster recovery techniques, and smart card security. Become an expert in estimating and managing security risk. You will complete a project and participate in related experiments. Cross-listed with TM694. Prerequisite: CS666 or TM610 or equivalent.
