More on a model curriculum for modeling and simulation

At WSC 00, one of the authors (Crosbie) suggested that the development and publication of a model curriculum for MS programs in modeling and simulation would facilitate the development of such programs. This paper presents a first draft of a model curriculum developed by a small group at the McLeod Institute of Simulation Sciences at California State University, Chico. The aim of the draft is to stimulate further discussion in the M and S community with the goal of arriving at a generally acceptable outline that can serve as a guideline for new programs.
