SEN 310 - Simulation

Course Objectives

Management today is becoming increasingly difficult, as the man-oriented systems of our society grow complex. This complexity derives from the interrelations among the various elements of our organizations and the physical systems with which they interact. Simulation is one of the most powerful analysis tools available to those responsible for the design and operation of complex processes or systems. Every engineer or manager should be familiar with this technique if his education is to be complete.

Course Description

Definition of system simulation. Basic concepts in simulation. Definitions of simulation study steps. Statistics and probability concepts used in simulation. Design of discrete systems simulation models. Programming of simulation models. Output Analysis, Variance reduction techniques, Validation and verification analysis.
