Simulation Competition

Simulation Competition will recognize outstanding simulation project in the field of industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, systems engineering, engineering management, operations management and related fields. Students can showcase their engineering simulation or design project by submitting a summary of the project as an abstract or paper and present it.Each submission must be presented at the 10th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations management to be held in Orlando. The poster presentation will be judged based on the technical content and poster presentation. Winners will receive award certificates.
