GE 703 - Simulation and Modeling

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the basic concepts of engineering systems and analysis and design using computer modeling and simulation. Topics covered include classification of systems and models, steps in developing computer models for discrete event systems, simplification, verification, validation, and applications of simulation and modeling. To provide the student with practical experience, commercial simulation software is used to implement and simulate the models. (prereq: computer programming, probability and statistics)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Perform simulations of basic manufacturing and service systems
  • Select, analyze, and/or design processes using simulation
