Goals
This course aims to provide students the skills for offering conceptual
frameworks defining how TIM applications are effectively designed and
managed and conducting studies of actual TIM installations.
Content
The principles and processes of systems thinking, systems approach,
systems engineering, and integrative management will be
demonstrated to be used to design, implement, and manage a KIM
System. Students gain insights into the fundamentals of applied
systems thinking, and they also gain experience in the use of these
concepts as a member of a project team. The course thereby
integrates theory with practice.
