aboard the USS South Carolina and the USS Enterprise. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Incorporating Diegetic Elements to Increase Engagement in Games for Engineering EducationAbstractOne of the difficulties in developing educational games is maintaining player engagement. Thisengagement is critical for games to provide effective learning experiences. One way to increaseengagement in games is to limit interruptions during game play. In educational games, this canbe accomplished by incorporating learning or problem-solving elements diegetically. Diegeticelements are those that are part of the game scene. With this in mind, a series of games forScience, Technology
