1Exploring Systems Performance using Modeling and Simulation – Project-based Study and TeachingAbstractModeling and Simulation (M&S) provides a risk-free environment allowing the users toexperiment in a computer-generated virtual platform and analyze the what-if scenarios foreffective decision support systems. Due to its pervasive usefulness, the concept of M&S is widelyused across many sectors, including manufacturing, warehouse operations, supply chain, logistics,transportation, mining, and many more. The field of M&S requires computer-intensive andsoftware-based training, which is very different from teaching in a regular classroom setting.Hence, we develop a three-stage (mimic-guide-scaffold

Given that the objective was not to teach a programming language, but to havethem deploy design functionality, they were allowed to access other resources and even usesource code from websites. They were given assignments for a number guess game to providethe concepts of loops and if statements. A following assignment had them write a program toflash the S-O-S pattern in Morse code on an LED.

]. There are two components of the framework, instructional complexityand structural complexity [2]. Instructional complexity refers to the latent characteristics of thecurriculum, such as the quality of instruction. Currently, the instructional complexity is proxiedby pass/fail rates; little work has been done to expand this metric, with some exceptions likeHilliger et al.’s [12] mixed methods grounded theory study on what makes engineering coursesdemanding. Still, pass/fail rates appear sufficient for simulation studies [2,8].Next, structural complexity involves representing a plan of study as a network, where eachvertex is a course and the edges connecting them are the pre- and corequisites. Each course isassigned a delay factor, the longest

on this course redesign. Anecdotally,the changes which have been piloted in flipping the order of introduction of content and activelearning activities during instructor-led class sessions have thus far been very well received. Thework is being embraced and enthusiastically incorporated into the AY22-23’s version of thecourse. As shown in figure 1 the control portion of the study will run during the Spring ’22 term.The impact of the redesign will be measured when comparing these results to those gatheredduring AY22-23 across the five above-mentioned methods. The findings will be analyzed andincluded into a larger body of work focusing on the importance of teaching decision making inproblem-solving in STEM courses.The hope for this study is
