Simulating Life

Course #: BIOL 362

Description:
Computer simulation of biological phenomena is an important and growing part of biological research. In this course, students will design, build, and test software simulations of biological phenomena of their choosing. In an interactive, cooperative, and synergistic setting, students will learn about biological simulation through readings and discussions, as well as their collaborative project work. We will begin with training in the simulation software, so no previous programming experience is required. As they work on their projects, students will gain a deeper understanding of the biological phenomena that they have chosen to simulate in addition to learning about the scientific process, hypothesis testing, and the power and limitations of computer simulations.
