Features, Training and Participation of National Computer Simulation Grand Prize

摘要

National Computer Simulation Grand Prize (NCSGP) is a national computer simulation contest sponsored by Higher Education Department of Ministry of Education P.R.C. which gaining more and more concern and participation in China. The paper analyzes the features and developments of NCSGP and summarized the relative experience of training and participation of Naval Aeronautical and Astronautical University. According to the characteristics of computer simulation, generic approaches of simulation and modeling were summarized as critical factors of students' knowledge and ability to be trained. The contents of training include programming skill, simulating methods, examples discussion and paper writing. And during the contest the participants choose the problem, collecting information and applying the training skills to complete the mission. A series of effective methods were formed gradually through the training process of National Computer Simulation Grand Prize. All the accumulated experience will make valuable contributions for the future contest.
