<br />GE360 ENGINEERING ECONOMY
<br />3 UNITS
<br />PREREQUISITE: MT122, GE202
<br />This course is designed as an
<br />introduction to financial engineering
<br />theory and its applications. It focuses
<br />upon the fundamental principles of
<br />corporate finance and investment
<br />science such as cash flow streams,
<br />arbitrage, risk aversion, pricing of firms
<br />and finance instruments, interest rate
<br />term structure, fixed income
<br />instruments duration, bond portfolio
<br />immunization, and the Markowitz
<br />mean- variance portfolio theory. The
<br />text for the course presents the material
<br />in a very systematic way and has
<br />enough detail to convey the basic
<br />mathematical principles. The
<br />mathematics is not complex, but
<br />student should be comfortable with the
<br />use of mathematics as a method of
<br />deduction and problem solving. For
<br />instance, in a typical MBA course, the
<br />perpetual annuity formula might simply
<br />be presented, but in this course, it will
<br />be derived using elementary algebra.
<br />Why may this course be important to
<br />you? (1) Engineering is one of the better
<br />paid professions, especially, financial
<br />engineering; (2) personal reasons:
<br />saving to buy car, home, putting
<br />children through college, be prepared
<br />for retirement, to become wealthy.
<br />Students are expected to be able to
<br />utilize PCs and MS Excel. Whenever it is
<br />possible, MS Excel spreadsheets will be
<br />used to illustrate the theoretical
<br />statements. This will help with the
<br />understanding of the material and
<br />strengthen computer skills.

<br />3 UNITS
<br />The course consists of three Integrated
<br />components: moral philosophy, case
<br />studies and industry perspectives, as
<br />well as the code of conduct for
<br />engineers. Moral Philosophy: basic
<br />ethical theories such as utilitarianism,
<br />deontology, and virtue ethics, but also
<br />more modern theories such as discourse
<br />ethics and feminist ethics. Case Study:
<br />Analysis of examples of situations which
<br />engineers may encounter in their
<br />professional life with the help of the
<br />studied ethical theory. Industry
<br />Perspective: discussion with
<br />professionally active engineers on
<br />ethical issues they have encountered
<br />during their career.
