The aim of this course is to introduce the decision-making process criteria to students and differentiate between different decision-making environments. Students are given the knowledge and experience of problem-solving techniques through using different operations research modeling and solution techniques. Through practical applications, assignments and the final projects, students learn how to utilize suitable tools in different problem-solving situations.
Lab and Tutorials:
The course requires practice and problem-solving training during tutorials, in addition to training on software to solve general OR problems.
