These are fundamental concepts at the core of many engineering systems includingmechanical, aerospace, electrical, thermal, and fluid systems. Many engineers are increasinglyturning to simulation and virtual prototyping, rather than physical prototyping, to explore newdesign concepts. As the use of simulation increases across all of engineering, the demand forstudents with hands-on experience in configuring, executing, and understanding simulation-based experimentation will also increase. In this paper, we present the results from
