The emphasis o" this subject is on application aspects and considerable e""ortsare needed on hand:on activities! Teaching is conducted through classlectures) tutorials) laboratory e;ercises and a mini:project in related to theapplication o" simulation! The lectures are targeted at the understandingsystem 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) andtest=%ui& is used to classi"y students< achievement in this subject!
