MODELING AND SIMULATION FOR AVIATION SYSTEMS

Catalog description

This course introduces students to the principles, techniques and tools used to model, simulate and evaluate complex aviation systems. Using real-world scenarios drawn from airline operations, airport planning, airspace management and advanced air mobility, students learn how to translate operational problems into formal models, run simulations, validate results and communicate findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders. Emphasis is placed on data-driven decision making; scenario analysis; and the use of simulation outputs to inform system performance, safety, capacity and risk.
