’ potential fordeveloping a “business culture,” that is, developing optimization models, which reflect andencompass the student’s goals. These unique attributes of this game make it ideal for presentingthe students with a problem that evolves, aims to define the student’s decision making rational,develop key concepts regarding goals and formulation relevance, allows the student to addressconflicting and competing objectives within the mathematical abstract model, and presentscontinuous change that must be addressed in order to increase the relevance of the mathematicalmodel and its solution. Thus, this game has multiple characteristics that have high relevance inthe instruction of basic and advanced operations research such as linear, integer

In addition tocourse-specific assessments, three common assessments were administered for all courses: 1)SE Career Awareness / Interest Survey, 2) Assessment to Measure Students‟ ability to transferSE Learning to Novel Problems, and 3) Open-Ended Blog Postings by students thatdocumented and reflected on capstone progress.Course Evaluation / Improvement Plan:Four Fall Semester 2010 courses implemented some System Engineering elements.The primary contribution of the Systems Engineering class was to prepare and deliver lecturemodules for all of the participating classes.

graphical models were imported into VE-Xplorer, the Page 22.628.7graphical engine of VE-Suite. A layout was then arranged to simulate a manufacturing line [Fig.2], and the models used to represent the stations were then assigned properties to reflect theirphysical appearance. The next step was to write the programming code for the mathematicalmodels used to simulate the production line, such as Little’s Law. C++ language was used tocreate these models to allow for the creation of a computational unit for use in VE-Suite. Agraphical user interface was then designed to allow the students to provide input to thesimulation. This was written using an open
