| Global Supply Chain Management |
The knowledge provides in this unit will help the students to understand the significance of supply chain management decisions and supply chain performance decisions for the success of a firm.
This course is designed to provide the students with the basic understanding of what supply chain management is and the various issues that must be considered when designing, planning, or operating a supply chain for a firm. |
| Transport Planning and Demand Analysis |
Vital decisions concerning the design and improvement of transportation infrastructure should be made with the help of various transportation planning techniques. Transport demand is a quantitative input to evaluate supply strategy of transport facilities and facilities use planning. Transport demand forecasting is to predict future transport demand when establishing transport plans within a given budget. The forecast is based on current transport pattern; drastic changes can result in prediction error |
| Global Human Resource Management |
This course is an introduction to Global Human Resources Management. This unit explores the implications that the process of internationalization has for Human Resource Management (HRM) activities and policies. In particular, students will be able to explore how HRM is practiced in multinational enterprises (MNEs).
Global Human Resource Management (GHRM) refers to those activities undertaken by an organization to utilize its human resources effectively.
The unit presents these topics in an international context by explicitly considering the context of the multinational enterprise. They are not only essential for managers to successfully perform their day-to-day management responsibilities but also to achieve the organizational goals. |
| Railway Foundation Engineering |
A foundation is the element of an architectural structure which connects it to the ground, and transfers loads from the structure to the ground. Foundations are generally considered either shallow or deep.[1] Foundation engineering is the application of soil mechanics and rock mechanics (Geotechnical engineering) in the design of foundation elements of structures. |

| Transport Safety |
Transportation safety is concerned with the protection of life and property. The quality and cost of transport services have a major impact on the ability of businesses to complete, on economic growth and the quality of life. Enhancing safety and security is all transport modes is a key for making the industry running smoothly. |
| Multimodal Integrated Transportation |
Goods are delivered from the source of manufacture/production to the consumer, which often travel thousands of kilometers over land, sea and air. Multimodal transport (also known as combined transport) is the delivery of goods utilizing at least two different modes (rail, sea, road etc.) of transportation.
In this course, students will have complete understanding on different intermodal transportation. The pros & cons and facilities required for each type of transportation. |
| Thesis Writing Workshop |
This course covers the fundamental concepts of successfully writing the senior thesis (or journal paper) and the research proposal. For the most student, this is the most difficult part of an extended research project, this is mainly because students are confused with where to begin, how to start, or what to start with.
There is no single way to conduct a research project. The excellent advice to tackle down the research is to break it down into smaller parts; however, the problem is to know how to break such a project down into its constituent pieces. This course will teach students how it can be done step-by-step, precisely where to begin and how to find the finish. This course, however, will help students gather helpful advice designed to help students write the best possible thesis (or technical paper) they can. The thesis project can be broken down into essentially three parts: project development, researching and drafting, and revising. Ideally, 1/3 of the time should be spent in each part. |
| Global Business Strategies |
This course is an introduction to global business strategy. The exchange of goods or services along international borders. This type of trade allows for a greater competition and more competitive pricing in the market. The competition results in more affordable products for the consumer. The exchange of goods also affects the economy of the world as dictated by supply and demand, making goods and services obtainable which may not otherwise be available to consumers globally. |
| Public Transportation systems |
