Title: 
 

Simulation Modeling for Systems Engineers

​

Abstract:   

​

Simulation modeling is often associated with industrial engineering and operations research, but it has much to offer the systems engineer. It is being used to plan, design, manage and upgrade systems in a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, energy, logistics & transportation, retail and services.

​

The predictive and analytical nature of the technology make it a powerful tool for the engineer. This presentation will give a broad overview of the history, concepts, technology and uses of simulation models.

Through case studies, live model demonstrations and informative materials, attendees will gain an appreciation for how these models, including digital twins, can be applied to specific systems engineering experience areas.
