- Description:
- A simulation model for university department planning is presented that allows department chairs, faculty, or administrators to "test fly" their decision choices for key variables in the model, observe the impact of these choices, and learn how to improve systems performance, given their respective objectives. Simulator "pilots" have control over average class size and faculty teaching load, and they can observe the impact of their decisions on a number of system variables such as enrollment, percentages of classes taught by part-time faculty, and the number of full-time faculty.
