- Brief description
In addition to theoretical methods and real-world experiments, simulation technology is now the third pillar of science and represents the most widely used problem-solving strategy across all scientific disciplines. Furthermore, simulation techniques and tools are also widely used and increasingly employed in technical development. Students acquire the necessary specialist knowledge and learn the systematic approach to modeling technical processes. They are able to critically analyze and evaluate models and the results of simulations.
