Abstract

An international debate on the need for a model curriculum for graduate programs in Modeling and Simulation (M&S) continues to grow. As the use of M&S continues to expand to new application areas, and its importance as a key enabling technology in the 21st century continues to be recognized, many questions are being asked by both universities and corporations concerning the proper basis and content for advanced studies in M&S.Corporations and government bodies are experiencing rising demands for new recruits with broad exposure to the concepts and methodologies of M&S and capable of contributing to the increasingly important M&S activities within the organization. Many recruiters are, however, frustrated in their efforts to define productive sources in US universities that meet these needs.
