Course Description
Methods of developing, implementing, and using computer simulations for management processes such as inventory control, waiting lines, project monitoring, and capital investment decisions are covered. Extensive use is made of simulation languages and interactive graphic-supported gaming and decision analysis. Engineering systems and chemical processes are studied under deterministic and stochastic conditions. Two hours lecture, three hours laboratory per week.
Instruction Approach
A combination of lecture, in-class activities, problem sets, group and individual projects are used to present and reinforce concepts and skills development. A semester project is required which demonstrates the application of simulation modeling to a real-world problem.
