History & Mission<\/h3>\n

The MET Decision Sciences Research Lab was founded in 2018. Its mission is to provide opportunities for MET graduate students to collaborate with professors and industrial practitioners, while applying their analytical skills to solve current problems facing industrial organizations. The lab performs research concerning decision making under uncertainty using analytical modeling, simulations, and data analysis to global supply chain operations.<\/p>\n

Join Us<\/h3>\n

If you are a BU Metropolitan College Administrative Sciences graduate student who is interested in working with us, please complete the following form. Although we give preference to full-time students in Supply Chain Management and Enterprise Risk Management, we will consider applicants from other majors who have the specialized skills we need. Graduate research assistants must be full-time students<\/strong> (unless its your final semester) who will work on campus about 10 daytime hours per week<\/strong>, and be enrolled in three or fewer courses<\/strong> during the semester during which they work in the DSLab. We do not consider applications from graduates, even as volunteers.<\/strong><\/p>\n
