Course Descriptions:

 

Expert Systems and Their Applications in Production Management (Credits: 3)

This course introduces the concept, components and framework of expert systems in the context of industrial management. We then discuss the way to apply expert systems in the problem domain of production management, based on certain expert systems' shells, some prototype systems will be established in order to model the domain knowledge into an expert system (as the in-class assignment). Finally, the potentiality of the expert systems in order areas are covered.

Fundamental Management in Industrial Organizations   (Credits: 4)

This course is designed to set up student's concepts and skills of management function in industrial organization. It includes introduction to functions of planning, organization, employment, leader and control within business organization, development of management through problem of major theories, decision making, communication, and emphasizing the functions of planning and control in production system.

 

Management Information Systems   (Credits: 3)

The purpose of this course is to develop the student’s ability in management information system with an emphasis on production management. It includes introduction to MIS, computer resources, business system planning, general production management information system, system analysis and design, decision support system, and setting up application computer system in practice.

 

Basic Concepts of Computer   (Credits: 3)

This is an introductory course on modern computer concepts. It presents the up-to-date computer technologies to students, which includes hardware and software applications. The hardware contains CPU, memory, input and output devices. The software contains compiler and other translator programs, software applications, and system software.

 

Linear Algebra   (Credits: 4)

Matrix Theory and Vector Space are two major fields in Liner Algebra. Matrix Theory includes: row operations, determinant, eignvalues and eigenvectors, etc. Vector Space includes: Linear Combination, Linear Dependent and Independent, Linear Transformations.

 

Calculus   (Credits: 6)

This is a fundamental mathematical course which is required by every freshman. It includes two parts: differential and integral. Calculus is not only a basic math tool for other math course, but it can also cultivate in a student logical thinking and problem-solving ability.

 

Programming Language   (Credits: 4)

This course introduces students C Languages which contains Control statement, Array, Pointer, structure and Graphics.

 

System Simulation   (Credits: 2)

This course teaches students a variety of contexts related to System Simulation, which can be classified into four areas: (I) simulation modeling, statistical analysis, Monte Carol Simulation; (II) GPSS/pc-- GPSS/pc transaction, GPSS/pc simulation blocks and control statement, GPSS/pc transaction chain; (III) writing, editing, and running GPSS/pc Models; and (IV) advanced features of GPSS/pc.
