The Design of Educational Programs in System Dynamics at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI)

Educational programs leading to degrees in system dynamics are rare and thus of critical importance to the future of the field of system dynamics. However, to a large extent such programs have not yet been made transparent to the system dynamics community as a whole. The present article describes th...
