UCF offers
interdisciplinary graduate studies in modeling and simulation leading to
master's and PhD degrees. The program provides students with a core body
of knowledge in the fundamentals of modeling and simulation including
discrete and continuous simulation, quantitative aspects of M&S, and human
factors.
M&S students
should have a baccalaureate degree or previous graduate degree in
such fields as engineering, psychology, computer science, biological
sciences or mathematics.
Once enrolled,
students pick from any one of seven focus areas:
-
Quantitative
Aspects of Simulation
-
Simulation
Infrastructure
-
Simulation
Management
-
Computer
Visualization in M&S
-
Simulation
Modeling and Analysis
-
Interactive
Simulation/Intelligent Systems
-
Human
Systems in M&S
Core courses
are supplemented by electives chosen by the student in consultation with
his/her advisor and approved by the M&S faculty.
Interdisciplinary M.S. and
Ph.D. programs in Modeling & Simulation are
jointly administered by the
College of Engineering and Computer Science
and by the
College of Sciences.
For more information about these programs and contact information for each
program go to the
Office of Graduate Studies webpage
under “Modeling and Simulation" or click on one of the program areas hyperlinked below.
Other units at UCF offer courses in modeling and simulation, including:
Civil and Environmental Engineering,
Computer Engineering,
Computer Science,
Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Management Systems,
Mathematics,
Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering,
Psychology,
and
Statistics.
Thesis, Non-thesis Options
The master’s program has both thesis and non-thesis
options. The non-thesis option requires 36 hours of coursework, and the
thesis option requires 30 hours (including six hours for thesis research).
Students will have opportunities to work
with faculty and M&S professionals with access to a large array of
research labs and other facilities. Such opportunities are invaluable enhancements to the courses
taken by M&S students.
Program Administration
The program is directed by Dr. Peter Kincaid
and Dr. Bala Jaganathan with
representation from the College of Arts and Humanities, College of Sciences
and College of Engineering and Computer Science. For
