COURSE OUTLINE: This course will introduce students to systems thinking and system dynamics (SD) methodology, to model, simulate, analyze, understand and discuss complex issues. SD focuses on the structure and dynamic behavior of systems composed of interacting feedback loops. The system structure is captured using causal loop diagrams (CLDs) or stock-flow diagrams (SFDs). This course will introduce model- building using CLDs and SFDs notations. Examples and scenarios will be drawn from various business, social, economic, environmental and ecological systems.
