T28 INTL: 3D Simulation-based Learning for Highly Complex Engineering Systems: A Pilot Study of Top Students

• In Event: Roundtables - Thursday
  In Roundtable Session: Roundtables I - INTL

Short Description

This qualitative study investigates the impact of simulations-based learning (SBL) for highly complex engineering systems in Aerospace Engineering. Both SBL and non-SBL participants were given a post-intervention performance test and the top scorers were interviewed. The SBL participants’ interview data, profiles, discussion board comments, their perception of their motivation and learning orientation will be triangulated. The preliminary data suggests that SBL was effective in helping top scorers of an aerospace engineering program learn better.
