Abstract: In our first MBA course in management science, we integrate management-science concepts and modeling software for immediate application in the students' working environments. In our opinion, the proof of the pudding is in the application. Our approach has empowered part-time MBA students to produce and often implement high-quality management-science application projects. Students learn to appreciate the value of management science as an applied discipline. We plan to improve this course, while steadfastly emphasizing student practice.
