Senior Design Project Flyers for Clients (PDF): Each spring at SMU\u2019s Lyle School of Engineering, teams of Management Science seniors perform pro bono<\/em> analytics consulting projects for local industry, government, and non-profit organizations. The objective of their OREM 4395 Senior Design<\/em> course is to put into practice the quantitative<\/em> decision-modeling, analytics, and data science methods that they have been studying, as a preview of life after graduation.<\/p>\n Under the direction of their supervising professor, these groups typically:<\/p>\n Typical deliverables to the client are:<\/p>\n Client responsibilities:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Appropriate Topics<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A senior design project involves the application of quantitative analytical methods (that is, has a mathematical or statistical dimension) for optimization, prediction, or decision-making. The topic can be accomplished in three months and is typically not mission-critical to the client<\/span>.

If the data is sensitive, a solution can be developed and tested on masked\/redacted\/scaled, hypothetical, old non-sensitive, or publicly available data sets. The client can later apply the solution system to operating data. If the project involves a proprietary or sensitive process, we can mask the organization\u2019s name, not publish the results, and, if necessary, sign a non- disclosure agreement in which clients must approve any releases of information. Students will need to be able to present their results to the rest of the class but must receive the client’s advance approval of the presentation.<\/p>\n Contacts and Further Information<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n If you are interested in a management science team this spring for your organization, contact one of the current or upcoming instructors, listed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Senior Design Project Flyers for Clients (PDF): Call For Senior Design Projects The Senior Design Process Case Studies: Senior Design, Graduate Projects, Faculty Research Each spring at SMU\u2019s Lyle School of Engineering, teams of Management Science seniors perform pro bono … Continue reading
