Abstract :
This panel looks at the issue of teaching simulation. It brings together three individuals with a wide diversity of academic and industrial experience to discuss the key issues that should be taught in a simulation course. Questions discussed include: Should a simulation language or general modeling concepts be taught in a simulation course? Should there be a difference between simulation courses taught to engineering and business school students? What simulation tools and skills should be taught to satisfy the needs of industry who hire engineering and business school graduates? These and other issues will be discussed.
