Description
This module is on theoretical introduction and practical experience in modelling and management of environmental engineering systems. We introduce system dynamics, mathematical model building, optimisation, decision theory under uncertainty and problem solving from nature. These are used for supporting decision making in environmental systems such as water, climate, air, food and energy.
Learning Outcomes
- Be familiar with theory and practice of numerical optimisation, simulation technique, decision making for policy planning and the basics of several modelling approaches commonly used in the analysis of environmental system
- Be able to describe and recognise environmental resources as systems, select and build appropriate tools to analyse and manage environmental systems
- Be able to formulate, use and understand models of problem situations including, where appropriate, using state-of-the-art computer modelling tools such as GAMS and System Dynamic software in their assignments.
