Bringing work into the classroom – ill-structured problems and transfer of learning through computer simulations

Although simulation learning is a powerful, versatile and sustainable tool in the engineering classroom, its implementation can face a tough reception. This article looks at the experiences of students from the Singapore Institute of Technology - University of Glasgow (SIT-UofG), who have used simulations to tackle realistic problems and transfer learning between modules.

This article is based on a paper presented at the World Engineers Summit (WES) 2023, held in Singapore, from 8 to 10 November 2023. WES 2023 was organized by the Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES).
