Abstract

Few colleges and universities in the United States teach simulation courses to undergraduate liberal arts students. Simulation was born and grew up in engineering, but it may attain its greatest sophistication in a new realm, the liberal arts. This paper suggests that a course in simulation for undergraduate liberal arts students is important and presents a course outline for it. Our experience with teaching the course is presented.
