of those decisions; in other words, they learn from the experience. Toreinforce the concepts, the game is designed so that students repeat this decision-making processover 10 rounds of the simulation while also interacting with team members (peers) to make thedecisions. Our decision to use a game as well as our choice of the game itself is grounded in theliterature of learning strategies. The following sections review these theories, describe the gamewe have incorporated in our courses, and provide some context for the larger project of whichthis effort is a part.Learning Strategies and Educational GamesBehavioral, cognitive, constructivist, and experiential theories of learning have influenced thedesign of learning activities, including

. During the almost weekly discussionsof the case study, both the regular (technical) course instructor and the liberal arts (nontechnical)instructors met with students in class to coach them through the process of writing a case studyas well as to elicit feedback on the case-study module process. A timeline of the case-studymodule activities is summarized in Table 1. The weeks without content in this timeline coveredtechnical course material. As the timeline indicates, elements of the case-study module spannedmost of the semester, allowing students the opportunity to revisit these concepts throughout thecourse. Page 15.26.5Table 1.
