Integrating simulation into engineering curriculum

What is it about?

We have shown that out-of-class learning is critically important to achieving the learning outcomes while teaching simulations to upper-level undergrad and grad students in engineering. We also show that the use of i-clickers need to be carefully conducted to achieve benefit. The results of this and previous work are shared freely online at simcafe.org.

Why is it important?

Fundamental engineering simulation skills and understanding is essential in today's engineering job market and will enable graduates to seamlessly transition into many entry-level jobs. Hence, teaching simulations as part of the engineering curriculum is important for universities across the nation and the world.
