Description:
The main objective of this research is to construct an interactive dynamic simulation model, on which a range of problems concerning the academic aspects of a university management system can be analyzed and certain policies for overcoming these problems can be tested. More specifically, the model focuses on long-term strategic university problems that are dynamic and persistent in nature, such as growing student-faculty ratios, poor teaching quality, low research productivity. The model generates teaching, research and professional projects. To construct such a game, a systemic feedback model of the major academic aspect of a university system is built. The model consist of twelve sectors: Graduate Instruction, Undergraduate Instruction, Graduate Instruction Quality, Undergraduate Instruction Quality, Graduate Faculty Instruction Overhead, Undergraduate Faculty Instruction Overhead, Graduate Faculty Research, Undergraduate Faculty Research, Graduate Faculty Projects, Undergraduate Faculty Projects, Laboratory Facilities and Assistant sector.
