Course Content
Capital goods manufacturers are changing into the providers of services selling the function of the capital item rather than the item itself. This change demands new ways based on financial engineering and risk analysis to price, manage and service the resulting contracts. Capital projects are also evaluated on the basis of life cycle cost and revenue streams in an uncertain environment.
Course content:
This course provides a basis in risk and decision making under uncertainty, classical engineering economics and financial engineering for those pursuing a career or planning a career in capital goods or project management. In addition the course offers practical skills in software and communications tools.
The course is modular and each module lasts four days. The structure is designed to allow both full and part-time students to follow the course.
