Announcement – New LGO EECS track: Information and Decision Systems

The Information and Decision Systems (IDS) track is designed for LGO students in EECS who want to both explore and develop practical skills in how to apply the latest algorithms and mathematical analysis in real operational settings.

The goal of the track is to make LGO the premier training program for leaders who will use advanced data analysis to make smarter operational decisions. The track includes five courses in four areas: 2 courses in tools/theory, 1 course in design, 1 course in communication and 1 course in an engineering elective specific to an application area.

We have a great adviser in Professor Patrick Jaillet, who is associated with LIDS and is also the new co-director of the Operations Research Center at Sloan.

In the coming months, we will be preparing track materials for the LGO Open House and fleshing out how to make this track an active group in the LGO community, much like the sustainability program in ESD.  Shoot me an email if you are interested or have ideas…
