On [DATE], American Public University System combined with Rasmussen University and Hondros College of Nursing to form a single higher education institution. American Public University System (System) now includes American Public University, American Military University, Rasmussen University, and Hondros College of Nursing. The System is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Public Education, Inc. (APEI). We are continuing to update our website to reflect our new structure.

DATS473 - Simulation Techniques I

Course Details

Course Code: DATS473 Course ID: 5509 Credit Hours: 3 Level: Undergraduate

This course provides the theoretical foundations, tools, and methods used to implement solutions through discrete event simulation, agent-based simulation, and other simulation techniques. It emphasizes the use of simulation models to explore different scenarios and develop effective processes for complex systems. The course incorporates analytical methods and demonstrates how different types of simulation models can be used to simulate operations and evaluate outcomes. Learners will engage with examples of real-world simulations to understand how to design, implement, and optimize simulation programs. (Prerequisite: DATS371)
