ABSTRACT

With the extensive penetration of data and intelligent technology in the field of management science and engineering, the application of operations research in supply chain optimization, service operation, platform scheduling, finance and risk management, public management and other scenarios has become more and more in-depth. The undergraduate majors of management science in various universities generally offer the course of "operations research (or management operations research)". However, due to the high degree of interdisciplinary, theoretical and algorithmic nature of the course, the large number of contents, and the great dependence on practical tools, it is necessary to construct a course system that matches the course objectives and learning conditions. This paper takes “basic concepts and theories, practical training, industry applications” as the overall framework, focuses on the concepts and theories of the module's content selection and organization, and proposes a combination of classroom teaching, practical interspersed with post-course expansion of the teaching method. It is also emphasized that the course system should be optimized based on the technology development trend, students' background and learning feedback, in order to ensure the systematicity, applicability and effectiveness of the course.
