The course provides knowledge of parts within the broad area of "Systems Thinking" as well as basic skills in Systems Dynamics simulation. Through analysis and modeling of complex dynamic systems in areas such as ecology, economy and industry, the course provides a breadth, while providing a deeper understanding for the essentialness of a structure for a system's behavior. Systems Thinking presents methods for managing dynamic complex problems (even of softer characteristics, i.e. in order to change behavior). The course prepares students for future work by presenting the tools to manage, among other things, structural problems and identify effective policies to achieve profound results.
