Consider the following situation

Undergraduate Minor in Supply Chain and Analytics

Department of Industrial Engineering

A minor in Supply Chain and Analytics is designed to provide students with a concentration in a broad perspective of the supply chain combined with modeling and analytical skills. Upon completion of the program, students will be able to interpret fundamental concepts in supply chain management as well as develop optimization and/or simulation models for organizational decision-making in supply chains.

Eligibility

This minor is open to all majors, and especially appropriate for students in the computational sciences, information technology, mathematics, engineering, business, or computer science programs.

Hamid: please find information related to justifying the minor in lean manufacturing and the minor in supply chain

(3) For each minor (and each track), could you provide descriptive language that shows values for students outside of engineering?

1- Here is the description from last time that was specific to the systems engineering minor.

2- Suggestions Practical lab, practical cases, real project applications, speakers from NASA, White Sands,

3- Description on How we can attract other students to take this minor

Write one or two sentences about creating a career path. To complete their own major, what benefits they will get to complement their majors.

Reduce the description to 3-4 sentences in each track. The idea of describing each track is great.
