SYE 6031: Advanced System Dynamics Modeling

3 Credit Hours
This course introduces system dynamics modeling for the analysis of policy changes and strategies on system behaviors. System Dynamics (SD) is a computer-aided approach to policy analysis and design, which focuses on recognizing the interconnections among the parts of a whole system and synthesizing the interconnections using simulation modeling into a unified view of the system. Through models & case studies of successful applications, students learn how to use qualitative & quantitative data to formulate & test models that represent systems behaviors.
