Advanced Model-Based Approaches for Systems Analysis

Catalog description

Introduction into the use of advanced model-based computer simulations for analysis of various industrial engineering related analyses. Topics include three basic types of simulation: Systems Dynamics, Discrete Event, and Agent-Based, with the emphasis on the last. The course will outline the basic steps of a simulation-based analysis, beginning with the formulation of an appropriate problem statement, developing use cases/scenario vignettes, adapting a simulation to instantiate those cases, defining and implementing a simulation experimental design. The course will be heavily hands-on; students will learn by performing their own simulation-based analysis project. Department Managed Prerequisite(s): Graduate level IHE 6150 Minimum Grade of C
