UBC Master of Management in Operations Research Program
UBC Master of Management in Operations Research Program
The Master of Management in Operations Research (MM in OR) program at the Sauder School of Business, University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada), provides unparalleled depth and experience for students and industry professionals interested in the quantitative analysis of business problems. Designed for individuals with backgrounds in engineering, mathematics, economics, or other quantitative fields, the 16-month MM in OR program offers a unique blend of technical coursework, practical consulting skills, and real-world problem-solving experience that positions students for success in today’s competitive business world.
MM in OR students work closely with internationally renowned faculty, business leaders, and outstanding peers to develop and realize their goals in a professional business environment. A highlight of the program is the Industry Project. Every student receives generous financial support by completing an intensive 5-month applied project with an industrial partner that addresses a significant operational issue. Working closely with faculty and project leaders, students use the latest decision tools and technologies to make concrete recommendations to executives of some of the most prominent companies in Canada.
The MM in OR program is an ideal alternative to an MBA for technically-oriented students looking for a professional business degree that utilizes their quantitative skills. MM in OR students have excellent employment potential, and graduates go on to rewarding careers in such fields as consulting, logistics and operations analysis, and supply chain management.

Subject: [cs-ugrads] short course in Android programming for students who will take the Accessibility Capstone winter quarter
I’ll be teaching the Accessibility Capstone, CSE 481H, in Winter Quarter 2012. So that we can all hit the ground running, students in the course should be familiar with programming Android mobile devices. For those who don’t already know how to do this, we are going to offer a mini-course in autumn (no credit), with 4 hour-long sessions, and a programming project over the winter break. If you may be taking the capstone, please fill out the following survey to find the best time for the short course. The survey closes Wed Oct 26, at 5:00pm. Questions – send me email!
thanks,
Alan Borning
