dynamics concepts throughexperimentation. Considerable gamification applications have been made in industrialengineering whereby some concepts, such as transportation and logistics lend themselvesnaturally to game concepts [35]. Beyond these games, simulation-based approaches toengineering education trend towards gamification, as depicted in Figure 4. Some examplesinclude the Mouse Factory, an interactive pedagogy focused simulation of a computer mousefactory that is useful for education in Design of Experiments [36], Control Charts [37], andprocess improvement [38], and AnyLogic, as seen in Figure 4, which provides an agent basedsimulation environment used in industry and academia to experiment with various design anddecision considerations in
