Course descriptions for Year 3 stuff

Just thought I'd take a moment to provide course descriptions for my stuff next year, since I didn't when I posted the timetables (that post was long enough as it was).

Spring/Summer 2006 (right now)

• ENGG 401 - Fundamentals of Engineering Management

- *3 (fi 6) (3-0-0). The application of the fundamentals of engineering economics, financial analysis and market assessment to engineering alternatives in the planning, development and ongoing management of industrial enterprises. The course covers the use of engineering, economic, financial and market assessment information in investment and business operation decisions in technology oriented companies. Note: Credit cannot be obtained for both ENGG 401 and ENGG 310.
