Course Title:
Expanding the Panama Canal
Course Description:
Designed for students with an interest in finance, economics, and supply chain management who wish to learn about one of the wonders of the modern world-the Panama Canal. Built in the early 1900s by President Theodore Roosevelt, the Panama Canal was an engineering marvel. It opened up major trade routes between countries that border on the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The canal put some transportation out of business; now new modes are competing with the canal. As world trade continues to grow, the canal is considering expanding at a cost of $10 billion to handle larger ships. The course focuses on the history/background of the canal, the world trade outlook and impact on the Panama Canal, and the economic benefits and costs of expansion.
