ISYE 3300:System Dynamics and System Thinking

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Engineering Standing and ISYE 2600
The course focuses on system dynamics modeling skills to be applied to complex socio-technical systems. The course provides the conceptual and technical knowledge necessary to conceptualize dynamic policy problems, formulate appropriate simulation models, and use models to understand socio-technical systems and develop effective policy interventions. A principle focus of the course is the significance of information feedback and circular causality in the behavior of social systems.
