Teaching Revenue Management in an Engineering Department

Abstract

Revenue management is one of the newly emerging topics in the area of systems engineering, operations research, industrial engineering, and engineering management. While it is not expected to become a part of the core curriculum in any of these disciplines in the near future, it is being taught in many universities in the business schools that have programs in operations research. Since the ideas underlying revenue management are rooted in operations research, they can certainly be taught to engineering students. It took a long time for supply chain management to make its way from business schools to engineering schools, and engineering professors have mixed feelings about the fact that it took such a long time. It will be interesting to see if revenue management follows a similar route, and if it ever does how long it takes to make this journey. an outline of the course that was taught in an engineering department, along with a description of the course contents, will be presented. What the instructor learned while teaching the course will also be described. in addition, specific areas that were treated in detail and the projects provided for students will be discussed. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2009.
