IIND-1000 Introducción a la Ingeniería Industrial

This is the first actual contact between the student and the Industrial Engineering curriculum, along with all the possibilities that the department and the University offer. Presents the different areas where Industrial Engineering graduated from Universidad de los Andes can contribute and develop their knowledge in Colombia and in the world. Make some of the tools, topics and contents of Industrial Engineering known and applied in a particular project (project EXPOANDES). Specifically, the course is proposed as an area of counseling and ongoing support for students in first semester to facilitate students' adjustment to their new role at university. Allows students to reinforce their decision about joining the Industrial Engineering program, or otherwise, provides the opportunity for responsible people who do not feel identified with the choice of life as an Industrial engineer to join one of the many programs offered by the Universidad de los Andes or other institutions. Finally it intends to show the university as an institution, interested in the development and training of the students as individuals.

IIND-1001 Programa de Acompañamiento

The accompaniment program targets first semester students in Industrial Engineering. It is a voluntary program where mentors from advanced semesters support first semester students in their process to adapt to the university. Activities of different types will take place with groups of 10 students in each section with the main goal being to obtain high grade averages in the first semester of school. The Department of Psychology helped design the program based on the experiences of international universities in this area.

IIND-2105 Discreet Events Simulation

Simulation enables the study of the behavior in a real system or a system proposed under present functioning conditions or under different operating scenarios. It finds increasing applicability s due to its high versatility, the inherent complexity reached by numerous modern systems, and the growing computing capacity, among other reasons. This course is oriented to manufacture and service system simulation, although it is also applicable in many other areas. Discrete simulation is highlighted but continual simulation elements are also included. Aspects such as modeling, experimentation, input and output information analysis, random variables generation, and variance reduction techniques, among others, are addressed.

IIND-4406 Gerencia Financiera del Riesgo

The Risk Financial Management course is an advanced finance course that assumes that students have had a minimum exposure to basic micro-economy and macro-economy concepts, particularly in those aspects pertaining to utility functions, risk aversion and financial market balance. On the other hand, concepts on the assumption of basic statistics, finance and mathematics tools knowledge, particular intensive work will be conducted with models and tools that imply a minimum knowledge of concepts, such as random variables, statistical moments of first and second order, linear regression and time series, as well as the basic calculus and lineal algebra concepts. The course approach is clearly quantitative, with respect to what is currently known as "finance in continuous time " however, discrete binomial tree models will also be intensively used. However, the course is not an stochastic calculus course in finance, and neither a derivatives course.
