This will be a group project oriented course that focuses on the development of tools for solving a practical financial engineering problem. In particular, a decision support system will be developed that integrates both the mathematical and statistical modeling techniques learned in the option along with relevant computing technologies. Problems that contain a real-time economic decision making component will be emphasized, but does not necessarily or explicitly involve financial markets. An important goal of the capstone is the articulation of the requirements to non-specialists as an exercise in communication with non-technical members of an organization.
