Revision 4
The course begins consists of a lecture/s on the topic of discrete event simulation (DES) to simulate production flows. There is a course book as reading material for the course and the content in this book is related to the course examinations, which can be different written and oral exams and laboratory exercises. A large part of the course consists of simulation laboratory exercises to be completed in a computer classroom or by connecting to the software on distance mode. The simulation exercises are built up to become more and more advanced and the final exercise is to build a larger simulation model a realistic size case. This pedagogical approach supports aspects of Work Integrated Learning (WIL) in the sense that the students work on practical DES exercises and advance their modelling and simulation skills towards real sized problems, which is beneficial for potential future student projects and future work tasks within discrete event simulation of production flows.
