Selection of a simulation language for an MBA modeling and simulation course

Abstract

<p>A study was carried out with two student sections of an MBA modeling and simulation course, to examine the feasibility of switching to a different simulation language from the one currently used. Data collected during the study also indicated the value of a project-oriented approach in the course, and indicated that more emphasis could be placed on learning the simulation language by self-teaching, leaving more class time for learning other aspects of simulation.</p>
