This course introduces students to System Dynamics and its real-world applications. System Dynamics studies the relationships between different parts of a system and how these relationships influence system behavior over time based on modeling and simulations. System Dynamics has been used globally to develop business and government policies and strategies based on an understanding of a system's internal structure and how the system responds to interventions. In this course, students learn how to use simulation software Vensim for System Dynamics modeling. This course also discusses state-of-art applications of System Dynamics in new technology diffusion (such as alternative-fuel vehicles) , policy-making (such as climate change mitigation and environmental sustainability policies), technology management (such as energy management), and other real-world contexts.
