NCS premiers M&S Certification for HS students Students in five Orange and Seminole County public high schools and the Orange County Tech Center will have the opportunity to take part in a new Modeling & Simulation (M&S) Certification Program being premiered by the National Center for Simulation (NCS) at this year’s Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference. The program, which is the first of its kind in the country, was initiated at NCS by Henry “Hank” Okraski to stimulate interest and competency in STEM and to prepare students for M&S careers in defense and other industries. The certification exam is aligned with the NCS high school M&S curriculum introduced at I/ITSEC in 2012.
