Course Overview

Modeling the bioenvironmental system is designed for students with an interest in systems and the bio-environment. It introduces the use of system dynamics models to understand and manage bioenvironmental systems. This course offers students with an overview of dynamic systems modeling including introductions on systems terminology, the uses of systems models, modeling constructs, positive and negative feedback, and sensitivity analysis. Then, this course provides applications that illustrate the use of dynamic models for exploring a variety of bioenvironmental problems. However, the course is an indispensable guide for students interested in state-of-the-art system dynamics modeling, its background and its application. The related software will be introduced in this course. Additional exercises and assignments help students to critically assess the potential of these instruments.
