Program Description
Systems are everywhere. The aim of this 3 week course is to train students with an engineering background into this important discipline. System Dynamics is an excellent framework to design models, work with models in interdisciplinary projects, add knowledge to models in an iterative fashion, and develop analyses for predictions, robustness, and resilience. This 3 credits course, led by Prof. Joaquín Goñi will take place in Pamplona, Spain. Classes will be held at Clen College / Pamplona Learning Institue in Pamplona. Students will also take a 3 credits "Spanish for Engineers" course or a beginning Spanish class (determined by your level of Spanish).
The Pamplona-Maymester is a 6 credit program (3+3).
Pamplona is a historical city in the North of Spain. It is the capital of Navarre, which used to be a Kingdom until 1512. Pamplona is a beautiful and safe city, with many parks and ammenities and very good public transportation.
