System Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is a core course of automation major, which can provide students with powerful theoretical and practical tools to study system and plays an important role in cultivating students' systematic thinking and M&S analysis ability.This course will cover the concept of system modeling, identification and simulation, their methods, and tools. The objective is to make the students understand the system M&S methods, establish a typical system model based on the mechanism modeling, experimental data, or hybrid methods, and further be able to use the common tools of system M&S to conduct system simulation experiments. Through classroom teaching and computer experiments, the course will cultivate students' innovative consciousness, the application ability of M&S knowledge, and the ability to analyze and solve practical problems in the field of social and economic management by using mathematical models and simulation software tools.
