studentsaway from the traditional lecture method of teaching and more towards the complex problem solvingneeded in the real world. Real-world case studies “allow the students to vicariously experience situationsin the classroom that they may face in the future and thus help bridge the gap between theory andpractice.” It is for this reason that educators are inspired to adopt them in the engineering curriculum. 5Operation Persian Gold was a hypothetical, situation-based case study that was developed by the Centerfor the Study of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) located at the National Defense University inWashington, D.C. The Persian Gold case study was used in the Nuclear Weapons Effects course toexpose students to a means of collaborative problem
