Overview

The general objectives of the course in the form of outputs that the student is supposed to acquire after successful completion of the course are:

  • · Introducing the student that operations research is one of the modern applied sciences that have made extensive progress in science and civil, economic and industrial activities ... Etc.
  • · The student's knowledge that operations research is an integrated approach to dealing with scientific problems facing the researcher in his work, including the existence of a problem that requires a decision.
  • · Know the method of operations research and the basic steps used to solve problems: identify the problem, build the model, solve the model, test the model and put the solution into practice.

Intended learning outcomes

The targeted learning outcomes of the course are:

A. Knowledge & (Understand)

Teaching and learning methods

The methods and methods used in teaching the course are:

  • · Lectures.
  • · From the beginning of the second week of teaching the course, the contents of the course are distributed so that each topic is allocated two or more students, whose role is to prepare for the discussion of the content at the beginning of the lecture or at the end of it after the lecturer.
  • · The set of exercises at the end of each section of the content is an assignment submitted by the student after the end of each section and grades are allocated to it .
