Discussion about body of knowledge and body of course for simulation science and technology discipline

Through its rapid development during recent thirty years, M & S has become a universal and strategic technology. It has brought broad applications and deep impact on many areas around the world, so the importance of M & S degree education has been recognized. The situations about degree education pattern, objectives, the rules of education program, mainly taken by universities in the world, were introduced. Then based on these, the body of knowledge (BOK) was analyzed, and the principle of BOK establishment and the core content of BOK were proposed. In order to support the subject setting of Simulation Science and Technology in China, the body of course (BOC) and the core courses of BOC were discussed.
