With the advice and approval of the Third and Fourth Year Curriculum and Student Progress Committee, the fourth-year student may choose approved electives offered by the various departments in the College of Medicine. The intent is to provide the student an opportunity to develop his fund of knowledge and clinical comeptence.
The course will be based upon our inpatient General Medical Consulting Service which sees an array of commonplace problems in patients on non-medical services. The emphasis will be on problem solving while functioning as a consultant. Four weeks of clinical service.
Learning organizations are skilled at creating, acquiring, and transferring knowledge, and at modifying their behavior to reflect the new knowledge and insights. In this context, this course will discuss leadership styles, adult learning principles, communication, organizational behaviors, and a structure for learning.
Discrete event simulation and its application to performance analysis of industrial production systems. Topics include concepts for characterizing production systems, approaches to structuring simulation models, instruction in a simulation language, and techniques for comparing alternative system designs and control strategies. Applications to manufacturing, commercial and mining production systems are considered.
This course provides the MFS student an opportunity to develop skills in managing a lean system at the 'shop floor' level.
This course introduces students to fundamentals of nontraditional manufacturing processes. Theory and implementation of the nontraditional manufacturing processes, such as laser cutting and welding, electro discharge machining, abrasive waterjet machining, rapid prototyping, etc. will be addressed.
Technical design of manufacturing systems in accordance with lean manufacturing principles. Topics include models for characterization and analysis of factory flow dynamics, production flow analysis, work cell design, and design of pull-based production control systems.
This course provides the theory and principles of sustainable quality production systems as originally developed by Shewhart and Deming. The course will focus on statistical methods from the viewpoint of quality control: at the product specification level; at the product production level; and at the judgment of quality at the inspection level.
