Course Objectives: (numbers in brackets indicates the relationship to engineering program
outcomes)
· Introduce students to systems thinking
· Familiarize students with a simulation software package
· Provide opportunities to apply statistics, statistical testing, and probability knowledge to simulation applications
· Provide students the background and tools for using simulation technology to improve system performance.
· Provide students the background and tools to make better design and management decisions.
· Provide students the opportunity to apply and expand simulation knowledge through a project application
As a result of these objectives, students completing ENIE 443 will
· know how to recognize need for a simulation application (2)
· be able to thoroughly define a system (4)
· be able to define system and model assumptions (4)
· be able to sketch a system’ process flow (4)
· be able to apply statistics, statistical testing, and probability knowledge to simulate manufacturing industry applications (2) (3)
· know how to convert simulation of industry applications to service industry applications (2) (3)
· know how to use at least one simulation software package (3)
· independently search for solutions to simulation design problems
· independently learn how to use the software package
