  Lecturer : NUR ARINA BAZILAH BT AZIZ Semester : II, 2016/2017
  Synopsis : This course introduces the application and theoretical background of basic discrete-event simulation concepts and models. Topics included the basic queuing systems, random number generation, model development, model verification and validation and result analysis. Students will be exposed to simulation model development using a simulation package. The course also helps the students to expand their critical thinking skills by experimenting with the simulated model for improvement.
