For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmIntroduces transportation systems analysis, stressing demand and economic aspects. Covers the key principles governing transportation planning, investment, operations and maintenance. Introduces the microeconomic concepts central to transportation systems. Topics covered include economic theories of the firm, the consumer, and the market, demand models, discrete choice analysis, cost models and production functions, and pricing theory. Application to transportation systems include congestion pricing, technological change, resource allocation, market structure and regulation, revenue forecasting, public and private transportation finance, and project evaluation; covering urban passenger transportation, freight, aviation and intelligent transportation systems. The main objective of this course is to give broad insight into the different facets of transportation systems, while providing a solid introduction to transportation demand and cost analyses. As part of the core in the Master of Science in Transportation program, the course will not focus on a specific transportation mode but will use the various modes to apply the theoretical and analytical concepts presented in the lectures and readings. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Civil-and-Environmental-Engineering/1-201JFall-2008/CourseHome/index.htmBen-Akiva, Moshe2009-09-15T10:51:12-04:001.201JESD.210J11.545Jen-USCivil and Environmental EngineeringTransportation/Transportation Managementlarge-scale systemsinstitutional change analysisstrategic regional planningquantitative modelingintermodal combinationstransportation componentsequityland useurban structuresustainabilityeconomic developmentenergyenvironmentaltechnologydemand modellingproject evaluationintelligent transportation systemsproject financeconsumer theoryorganizational modelstravel demandtransportationUrban Studies and PlanningEngineering Systems DivisionMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis course explores the basic concepts of computer modeling and simulation in science and engineering. We'll use techniques and software for simulation, data analysis and visualization. Continuum, mesoscale, atomistic and quantum methods are used to study fundamental and applied problems in physics, chemistry, materials science, mechanics, engineering, and biology. Examples drawn from the disciplines above are used to understand or characterize complex structures and materials, and complement experimental observations.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Materials-Science-and-Engineering/3-021JSpring-2008/CourseHome/index.htmBuehler, MarkusThonhauser, TimoRadovitzky, Raul2009-07-13T02:57:44-04:003.021J22.00J18.361J10.333J1.021Jen-USChemical EngineeringIndustrial EngineeringEducational Evaluation and ResearchApplied Mathematicsfinite elementFEMstructural mechanicsgasmeltingevolutionfractalheatfluid dynamicsapplied mathematicsbiologymaterials sciencemechanicschemistrycomputational physicscontinuum methodmesoscaleMonte Carlomolecular dynamicschemicalquantum methodquantumvisualizationdata analysisstatistical samplingcontinuum fieldcontinuumdiscrete particle systemcomputer modelingNuclear Science and EngineeringMathematicsMaterials Science and EngineeringCivil and Environmental EngineeringMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmIn this course, three important aspects of construction project management are taught: The theory, methods and quantitative tools used to effectively plan, organize, and control construction projects; Efficient management methods revealed through practice and research; Hands-on, practical project management knowledge from on-site situations. To achieve this, we will use a basic project management framework in which the project life-cycle is broken into organizing, planning, monitoring, controlling and learning from old and current construction projects. Within the framework, you will learn the methodologies and tools necessary for each aspect of the process as well as the theories upon which these are built. By the end of the term you will be able to adapt and apply the framework to effectively manage a construction project in an Architecture/Engineering/Construction (A/E/C) organization. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Civil-and-Environmental-Engineering/1-040Spring-2009/CourseHome/index.htmMoavenzadeh, Fred2009-11-09T01:20:39-05:001.040ESD.018J1.401Jen-USCivil and Environmental EngineeringPurchasing, Procurement/Acquisitions and Contracts Managementprocurementproject organization and contractscost-benefit analysisrisk management processallocationprivate finance initiativeproject organizationproject controlrisk analysisrisk managementportfolio project managementcost estimationenterprise project managementconstruction financeinfrastructurepublic-private partnershipproject managementEngineering Systems DivisionMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
