Learning outcomes |
This curricular unit aims to the acquisition of a set of knowledge and skills that enables:
1) Analyze, solve numerically and interpret the solutions of the problems;
2) Develop simulation models, adjusted to the problems in analysis, implement them and validate them, taking into account the constraints of the problems and the limitations of the use of simulation.
At the end of this curricular unit students should be able to develop simulation models (using specific languages) and have capacity for critical analysis that allows understanding and improvements proposal to existing simulation models with unsatisfactory performance.
