Learning Outcomes

The main goal of the course is the undergraduate students to get acquainted with the decision-making systems both in theory and in practice. This course will provide a first overview of decision-making systems and methodologies as well as familiarize students with the basic decision-making simulation tools. An important goal of this course is the students to gain in-depth knowledge as well as skills that will make it easier for them to engage with decision-making systems at a professional level, emphasizing the needs of the market. For this reason, in addition to the theoretical lectures, students will be given the opportunity to solve practical exercises and laboratory simulations.
