This Tutorial serves as a holistic primer for Professional Development across the full spectrum at I/ITSEC 2022, whose prevailing theme is to Accelerate Change by Transforming Training (ACTT)! Major topics include a notional introduction to core I/ITSEC fundamentals (e.g., M&S basics; the Live-Virtual-Constructive/LVC taxonomy; Model Verification/Validation), followed by an overview of the officially recognized (and recently upgraded) professional designation within the M&S discipline: the Certified Modeling and Simulation Professional (CMSP).
To tie it all together, the primary technological lynchpin for this Tutorial is an example-driven exploration of contemporary applications - culled from peer-reviewed literature - to visualize how core principles (e.g., M&S, LVC, VV&A) are being actively leveraged within diverse fields and disciplines: 1) Engineering Design/Manufacturing, 2) Sustainable Transportation, 3) Education, Training, and STEM, 4) Health Care (e.g., COVID-19), and finally, 5) the Entertainment Industry, for which the greater Orlando region is world-renowned.
