ECE 5830 - Introduction to Technical Management

Fall. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

Prerequisite: industrial experience or equivalent (summer work or schoolwork).

P. Jessel.

This course is taught from the perspective of a chief technology officer and is targeted at M. Eng. and management students interested in “real world” problems. It provides an introduction via case examples to the technical, management, and organizational issues of developing and marketing products in high-tech businesses. The focus is on the unique nature of this type of business, including managing with high risk/uncertainty levels, learning to manage very diverse project teams, and recognizing technical versus market success in order to make good business decisions.
