AFSIM
Fall 2025 | 3 Credits | August 29 Deadline
Are you ready to solve real-world national security challenges?
Virginia Tech is proud to offer students a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with simulation tools used in the Department of Defense and Aerospace industry. Join us this Fall to learn how to leverage AFSIM to tackle mission-critical problems and deliver real solutions!
Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling (AFSIM) is a powerful, restricted-access, mission-level simulation environment for analyzing air, space, and cyber operations. AFSIM is used among government labs, defense companies, and researchers.
You’ll learn with 5 other students to achieve the following objectives:
- Learn the fundamentals of AFSIM scenario design and mission modeling
- Build and run your own mission simulations
- Explore how AFSIM models platforms, sensors, and decision logic
- Deliver a working scenario project by the end of the course
1. Make a Real Impact: By the end of the course, you will develop a project to solve a real world scenario
2. Build Your Network: Be a part of the community of researchers, government analysts, and DoD leaders that utilize AFSIM in their day-to-day
3. Boost Your Resume: Stand out with hands-on experience with a rare and powerful tool to solve the problems of today
The Future Needs You!
For those interested in Aerospace Engineering, this course is a great opportunity to develop skills for your career and stand out to government recruiters. Don't delay in applying, seats are limited!
This course is no longer accepting new students for the Fall 2025 semester.
