Entry requirements

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Prerequisites

Discrete-event simulation

Intended learning outcomes

The main idea of the course is to deepen the knowledge in discrete-event simulation and to apply that knowledge to real-life situations by working in project groups on practical cases. After completed course students will be able to:

Identify and formulate problems that can be solved using discrete-event simulation
Independently carry out real-life simulation projects
Document and present the results of a simulation project

Course content

Students can choose to analyze a system in any of the application areas of discrete-event simulation, e.g. production or logistics. Lectures will cover common topics for all projects, such as problem structuring, data analysis, verification and validation of simulation models, experimentation, etc. Project groups will also be responsible for acquiring additional knowledge about the chosen application area.

Teaching and working methods

The course mainly consists of project work in groups, as well as lectures and seminars where different aspects of simulation projects are presented and discussed.
