• Formulate scientifically correct research questions for modelling and simulation problems.
• Use the modelling methods discussed in the lecture to develop conceptional models.
•  Implement and execute a conceptional model with the simulation software discussed in the lecture.
• Analyse, interpret and visualise simulation output and identify parameter sensitivity. Document simulation experiments in a reproducible way.

The lecture gives a broad introduction to modeling and simulation studies sketching all steps from formulation of the research question, system-abstraction, conceptional modeling, implementation, until experiment design, experiment execution and result interpretation.
