Mechanical & Industrial Engrg 397H - ST-Malaria,Cancer,ClimateChng

introduces students to the concept and types of simulation modeling needed for understanding complex systems and addressing global problems in healthcare, energy, transportation, among others. We will start with simple experiments that can be calculated by hand or in Excel to introduce the concept of simulation; then extend into systems modeling by creating simple code using compartmental techniques and agent-based programming. Some of the examples we will use include modeling of malaria, cancer, climate change, and social networks.

Open to students in Commonwealth Honors College or the College of Engineering. Math131,M&I-ENG 273,COMPSCI121
