IND E 535 Engineering Simulation
In this course, students will learn advanced techniques in simulation modeling and analysis using Arena simulation software. Students will be expected to present, critique, and discuss current simulation research and apply their simulation knowledge to simulate and analyze a real-world system.
Prerequisites: IND E 424 or permission of instructor.
This course will begin with Chapter 7 of the
textbook, so a working knowledge of basic simulation
concepts and the Arena modeling software is required.
Textbook: Kelton, W. David, Randall P.
Sadowski, and David T. Sturrock (2004). Simulation
