ENGR 411 - Simulation Modeling and Analysis

Credits: 3

This course is designed to introduce the fundamentals of simulation and systems modeling. During the course, the student will gain experience in formulating an appropriate simulation model for a system, implementing the model as a computer program, and evaluating the output of the model. Topics covered include Monte Carlo techniques, sampling from and identifying stochastic distributions, methods of estimating performance measures from simulation outputs, practical applications, and procedures for validating and verifying simulation models. Special purpose simulation languages such as Arena and SIMAN will be utilized. Systems models will also be constructed using Microsoft Excel software. Prerequisite(s): Junior standing in engineering and ENGR 305. Lecture-Lab (ex: 3-1 means 3 hrs lecture and 1 hr lab): (2-3)
