Overview

Most engineering or scientific fields use simulation as an exploration, modeling, or analysis technique. However, Modeling and Simulation is not limited to engineering and science, as it is also used in training, management, and concept exploration.

These programs involve constructing human-centered, equipment-centered, and stand-alone computer-based models of existing and conceptual systems and processes.

Outcomes

The objective of this Modeling and Simulation program is to provide education on evaluating the human, organization, equipment, and systems under study through the evaluation of output from the corresponding simulation construct.

Alumni of SMST degree programs at the University of Central Florida have both general and specialized skills in Modeling and Simulation.

Programme Structure

Courses include:

Perspectives on Modeling and Simulation
Simulation Techniques
Research Design for Modeling and Simulation
Understanding Humans for Modeling and Simulation
Behavioral Aspects of Cybersecurity
Interdisciplinary Approach to Data Visualization
Modeling and Simulation for Instructional Design
Modeling and Simulation for Test and Evaluation

General requirements

Applicants with a bachelor’s or master’s degree are eligible to apply. Applicants without a master’s degree should have an outstanding academic record.
An official, competitive score on the GRE taken within the last five years
Résumé or Curriculum Vitae
Goal statement: should discuss all relevant professional background and any previous research experience.
Three letters of recommendation

Though UCF SMST does not have a mandated prerequisite for its graduate programs, the most successful students are those who have an academic and/or work background that has prepared them in mathematics (introductory calculus and probability and statistics) and computer literacy, preferably, familiarity with at least one higher order programming language (e.g., Python, C/C++, Visual Basic, Java, etc.).
