Use of computer modeling and discrete event simulation methodology with emphasis on designing and analyzing manufacturing and service systems. Commercial simulation packages will be used.

Prerequisites & Corequisites: Prerequisites: IME 2060, 2620.

Credits: 3 hours

Lecture Hours - Laboratory Hours: (3 to 0)

By the end of semester the student should be:

1. Apply knowledge of mathematics and engineering to discrete-event simulation problems (a)
2. Numerically analyze and solve all discrete-event simulation problems (a, b, c, f)
3. Report and present individual and group results (e, g, h)

Letters in parentheses refer to ABET EAC Criterion 3, categories a-k.

The student should be able to:

Course Objective 1

1. Provide accurate description to the discrete-event simulation questions.
2. Determine the appropriate solution technique to solve real-world simulation problems.

Course Objective 2

1. Provide accurate description to the random number generation, input modeling, output analysis, and comparison of alternative system designs questions.
2. Determine the appropriate simulation model to solve any real-world problems.

Course Objective 3

1. Participate in teamwork, class discussion, case studies, and submit written and oral reports to the class.
