Abstract

Although traditionally a subject for graduate study, simulation has recently been included in many undergraduate curricula. After a discussion of the objectives of a simulation course for undergraduates, this paper recommends an approach to teaching such a course which makes use of a commercially available simulation language, such as GPSS or SLAM. This approach is discussed in relation to the course objectives. Finally, the results of the authors' experience with this approach are discussed.
