Military Simulation & Serious Game Technology
This course is part of the DiSTI Simulation Professional Series, a suite of modeling and simulation (M&S) courses designed to prepare the simulation professional for success.
Who Should Attend?
This course targets simulation and serious games developers and managers who need to understand how simulations are designed, how they work, and how the military uses them. This course goes far beyond typical program overviews. Students will learn the essential technologies driving the military’s latest simulations and serious games and gain an appreciation for how these have evolved from the historical foundations and future requirements of the field.
Course Objectives
The objective of this course is to provide students with the most advanced simulation techniques, experiences, and lessons so that you can take them back to your project. We emphasize practical applications and provide advice based on real world experiences. You will develop your professional competence and begin creating the expertise that will ensure a secure and successful career in this field. The course will also prepare you to take the modeling and simulation professional certification examination that provides global recognition of your professional expertise.
