Simulations and computational models are implemented in the problem synthesisphase and using these simulations and models, the problem solution is implemented in theproblem implementation phase.In this study, we investigate the impact of coupling the integrated model of problem solving withthe use of modeling and simulation for learning the concepts of kinetics of materials in graduateengineering students. The theoretical framework guided our learning and research design asfollows. Students first conducted a preliminary literature review on a given topic, then they wereasked to

As a result,the effects of learning activities and perceptions of classroom interactions among the instructorand the students may differ by student5,8.
