Courses and Curricula Developed

(a) MNGT 3140 – Introduction to MIS: I am integrating case studies into this course so that all business students can obtain a better appreciation of the role of MIS in business.

(b) MNGT 3040 - Telecommunications Management: I use real-world problems and companies in order to make this course interesting and exciting to students.

(c) MNGT 4850 –Competitive Strategies through Information Technologies: I developed this senior-level course so that students work on three case studies during the course. Students report that this course is very helpful to them in preparing for their career.

(d) MNGT 7380 – Integrating Information Technologies to Provide Competitive Advantage: The course includes seven case studies developed by me with coauthorship of other students and faculty members.

(e) MN 8020 - Telecommunications Management Seminar: The objective of this course is to make the Ph.D. students proficient in telecommunications technologies so that they can become effective instructors in this field.

(f) MNGT 7020 - Data Communications: This is a graduate course on data communications management. I have published articles that evolved out of this course.

(g) MECH 2210 – Concepts in Design and Manufacturing: I have worked with Dr. P.K. Raju in order to develop the contents for this course. The instructional methodology for this course uses case studies developed as part of our joint work.

(h) ENGR 1110 – Introduction to Engineering: This is a freshman level class where students are provided “hands-on” experiences that show how the science, math, and information technology concepts relate to engineering practice. Case studies developed as part of the NSF contract are used in this course. A textbook co-authored with Dr. Raju is used as the required book in this course.

(i) BUSI/ENGR 3520 – Integrating Engineering and Business Theories with Practice: The purpose of this course is to provide the students an opportunity to participate in decision-making scenarios involving technical and non-technical issues in companies by working with case studies.

(j) Courses in other Universities – Several faculty members around the country (including statistics and Mechanical Engineering departments at Auburn University) use the case studies developed by the Laboratory for Innovative Technology and Engineering Education (LITEE) team in their classes.
