SYSTEMS DYNAMICS & SIMULATION

Course Description

This course covers the dynamics of different models and emphasizes on the tools and methods needed to apply systems thinking and simulation in complex real-world settings. The course uses systems dynamics and simulation models to depict solutions for real world problem in business and environment.

Course Objectives

The objectives of the course are to,

• Introduce students to the methods of formulating qualitative and quantitative models using the available data

• Teach students the different models that are using in solving problems

• Teach students how they can use mathematics models to formulate and solve problem

Expected Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course students should be able to,

• Define Simulation, Systems Dynamic and a model and how they relate

• Explain the different types of models used in solving world problems

• Identify and formulate a problem, and device a mathematical solution or simulation model out of it
