System Dynamics Poster Symposium at Dartmouth College
March 5 @ 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm EST
Join the students for the culminating event of the System Dynamics in Policy Design and Analysis course at Dartmouth College, where they will showcase their innovative work. This symposium marks the completion of their winter term and features 26 students presenting posters that demonstrate their modeling projects.
About System Dynamics in Policy Design and Analysis
The course offers a comprehensive introduction to System Dynamics, a method pivotal in policy design and analysis, grounded in feedback principles and computer simulation. This course is instrumental in understanding the structural roots of various challenges in social, economic, political, environmental, technological, and biological systems. The primary objectives are to deepen understanding of these issues and to develop effective policies for improvement. The curriculum, encompassing lectures and practical exercises, focuses on real-world problems like urban decay, resource depletion, environmental pollution, product marketing, and agricultural challenges in growing populations. A key aspect of the course is the exploration of the transferability of feedback characteristics across different domains. No prior background in engineering or computer science is required, making this course accessible to a broad range of students.
This symposium is an opportunity to witness how students apply these principles to diverse problems, demonstrating their creativity and analytical skills. You are invited to engage with the students, explore their projects, and delve into the world of System Dynamics as applied to contemporary issues.
