ORGANIZATION OF THE COURSE
The Politechnic University of Catalonia - UPC - has a solid reputation in higher learning and research, and is a dynamic university in constant evolution. As such, the University offers internet-based courses to serve English-speaking students who are interested in taking courses from the Politechnic University of Catalonia.
Courses via the Internet are an excellent opportunity to access postgraduate education, as the student may access the course on the student's own time, at his own pace, and minimizing the loss of work hours.
Additionally, it has been noted that this course, in its internet mode, gives excellent results because the student is very closely monitored in his learning process by the course instructor.
The student receives the documentation of the course and the simulation software Vensim PLE at home. Throughout his progress in the course, he receives by e-mail instruction with study cases and exercises to complete. The student then submits the models he creates to the instructor by e-mail. The instructor is available to the student in this capacity for any help the student needs during his studies.
Because of this very close relationship between the instructor and the student his evaluation is continuously monitored through the completion of the different exercises and study cases.
Member of the System Dynamics Society Conference Paper Review Committee.
Additionally, you will receive a CD-ROM which contains the software for building and simulating models (VENSIM PLE) together with demo versions of other similar software: ITHINK and STELLA. The CD also contains more than 250 works and articles on this methodology, including text and graphs, that allow the student to go deeper in the aspects of the course he/she is more interested.
A bibliographical listing is also included, as well as a description of other simulation software that exists, newsgroups, and internet addresses with models. Finally, several employment opportunities of consulting companies are included for the student's benefit.
