This course will introduce students to principles and theories related to management and organizational behavior. The goal is to transfer or develop knowledge and skills for high performance in a complex technical business environment requiring engineers to make and communicate sound decisions, and react appropriately to unanticipated events. The concepts and techniques for maximizing the effectiveness of engineers in the achievement of organizational and project goals are also emphasized. Topics include power, teaming, motivation, selection, and development while understanding individual characteristics, attitudes, and behaviors.
