Prentice Hall, 1999. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the design of simulation programs. The course will require students to both use programs to develop simulations as well as write simulation programs from scratch. At the end of this course, students should be able to define the elements of a system, and then develop, test, and validate a simulation of this system.
Students learn more and better when they are active participants in the learning process.
Students are also easily bored when the instructor spends the entire class time telling them what they just read in the textbook. For these reasons and many others, active learning is used in this course. I understand that the material for this course is highly mathematical and statistical. This may make some of the readings difficult for some students. I would encourage you to still at least review the material.
