The emphasis o" this subject is on application aspects and considerable e""orts are needed on hand:on activities! Teaching is conducted through class lectures) tutorials) laboratory e;ercises and a mini:project in related to the application o" simulation! The lectures are targeted at the understanding system concept) modeling methods) and di""erent simulation techni%ues! Substantial wor's on laboratory e;ercises and tutorials are employed to en"orce students< capabilities in building system models and application o" simulation so"tware! The mini:project is to give students a chance o" conducting a simulation related project in a more comprehensive manner) and test=%ui& is used to classi"y students< achievement in this subject!
