CMPT 305: Modeling & Simulation Course

This document outlines a course on modeling and simulation. The course will introduce concepts like discrete event simulation, continuous time simulation, and random number generation. It will cover tools like SIMAN/Arena and teach how to model and simulate queues, mixed signals, and finite elements. Students will learn to develop models, assess validity, optimize parameters, and propose changes based on results. The course will be graded based on classwork, a midterm, final project, and final exam. It provides a weekly plan and recommends references to support learning.
