This panel reflects upon their experiences as simulation professionals and shares their thoughts regarding elements of their simulation education that they have found most helpful in their work as well as things they wish they would have learned. With diverse backgrounds and simulation application areas, their perspectives may provide food for thought to simulation course developers and to those in...
An administration-engineering partnership was established to ensure the effective operation of an upper division, general education theme requirement at Grand Valley State University (GVSU). The percent of theme course seats occupied was increasing each semester and approaching 100%. Student complaints about course unavailability and other anecdotal evidence supported the quantitative evidence. A...
Establishing the context in which the technical content of an engineering curriculum will be applied to problem solving in the workplace as well as the context in which engineering education will take place are important motivational aspects of freshman engineering education. We have developed a seminar for first semester in college, calculus ready freshman that addresses these contextual issues....
Simulation can be used to validate the design or redesign of any complex system before it is implemented. Validation evidence is obtained if the simulation demonstrates that the system operation corresponds to its design. This evidence includes comparing both detailed system behavior and performance measure values to those stated in the design. The application of simulation to validating the redesign...
