ENSC 210 - f Introduction to Environmental Modeling

Institution:

Clark College

Subject:

Description:

The utility of system dynamics modeling for understanding complex systems related to environmental science and regional planning is emphasized. Existing models of natural systems are used by the students to help become familiar with fundamental processes responsible for the behavior of these systems. The course is intended to develop critical thinking skills which are essential for the analysis of complex non-linear systems with multiple internal feedback loops. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to design their own mathematical models of systems familiar to them, and understand the usefulness and limitations of such models. Prerequisite: A grade of "C" or better in MATH 106 (MATH& 148) or 111. [NS, SE]
