Abstract

The field of simulation is, however, not a part of the core curriculum of many of the newly-budded computer science programs being offered nor is it a major part of those institutions which are firmly-rooted in computer science.

Several questions must be discussed in order to try to resolve which paths educational institutions might take toward implementing computer simulation as a basic part of their programs. Should the emphasis be on discrete or continuous systems - or doesn't it matter as long as the techniques and logic of construction of a computer model are discussed? Should analog and hybrid simulation be discussed as well as digital simulation?

The panel today brings together several outstanding individuals to discuss these points The panel will discuss whether the field of simulation should, indeed, take place in the core curriculum and whether this approach - or the traditional methods - is most feasible for all fields. There should be time for members of the audience to ask questions or, perhaps, voice opinions or additional approaches to the place of computer simulation and modeling in the educational process of the future.
