Description:
Unlock the potential of systems thinking through this micro-credential designed to tackle complexity and foster innovation. Learn to build computer simulations using stock-flow diagrams and causal loopsโno prior technical knowledge needed. Bridging humanities and sciences, this micro-credential enhances critical and creative thinking while addressing challenges linked to sustainable development. Ideal for forward-thinking learners eager to lead change using IT, data, and systems approaches.
Learning Outcomes:
- Demonstrate fresh knowledge of systems analysis principles and deep understanding of the system dynamics approach and its application to the development of conceptual and simulation models.
- Prepare new and apply existing computer-based simulation models using stock and flow and causal loop diagrams in a simulation system.
Sustainable development goals:
- SDG4. Quality education
- SDG8. Decent work and economic growth
- SDG11. Sustainable cities and communities
- SDG12. Responsible consumption and production
