Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. use methods of deterministic operations research to model real-world situations, and interpret the results to reach sound conclusions.
2. communicate, in written form, the results of a model in the context of current thought on the situation being modeled.
3. distinguish between sound and unsound interpretations of model results applied to issues affecting society.
4. analyze a problem’s societal context and the impact of context on sound interpretation of mathematical models applied to real-world situations.
