About this Program

进一步你的背景建模和仿真与科学硕士学位. 我们的课程为学生在政府和行业的模拟专业人员的职业生涯做好准备, 高中或大专水平的建模和仿真教师, 以及建模和仿真或其他相关学科的高级研究生学习. The master's degree in modeling and simulation (M&S) emphasizes a strong, 共同的主题核心,同时为学生提供灵活的设计学习计划,以满足每个人的学习目标和需求. The program's subject core consists of: an overview of modeling and simulation; an in-depth exploration of specific simulation methodological approaches; simulation system modeling principles and techniques; an introduction to computer visualization and visual simulation; and principles of stochastic 分析. 这为仿真者提供了跨学科和领域工作的机制,同时维护了通信的公共参考框架, technical specialization, and advanced study and research.

Program Highlights

  • Program offers two options: thesis option and course option. 论文选项需要6个小时的论文学分和24个小时的课程学分,主要针对全日制学生,他们正在为高级M的职业生涯做准备&S research and/or academic positions. 课程选择需要30个小时的课程学分,重点是培养解决需要应用建模和仿真的问题所需的实用技能和知识. 课程选择进一步分为两个轨道:发展轨道和应用轨道. 开发轨道是编程密集,并为学生准备先进的模拟开发, 而应用跟踪则侧重于现有先进仿真工具的使用.
