By witnessing physiologic variability in the laboratory, they come to understand that physiology simulators can never fully replace live animal experimentation. • Euthanasia: In general, while students do not regard the laboratory rats as pets, they do express significant concern, and some sadness, when their first animal is euthanized in Lab #2. Before injecting a euthanizing agent for the first time, I work intensely with each individual laboratory group to address the need for euthanasia and how the agent will work.

It functions by providing a comprehensive set of tools andfunctionalities for designing and developing three-dimensional (3D) simulations andexperiences. While using Unreal Engine doesn't require advanced programming skills, afundamental understanding of basic programming in an object-oriented language is beneficial.Moreover, having previous experience in animation or 3D modeling enhances the user'scapabilities.In Unreal Engine, the use of templates offers a powerful advantage in the realm of video gamedevelopment [10

The example features a system deliberately designed to exhibit blow up (meaning it fallsinto an unsteady state with a queue that keeps growing, also known as pile up). Students oftenmiss this potential issue when building a simulation model with software, leading to challengesduring execution. These challenges are detailed within the Appendix.While some students might attempt to identify blow up issues through animation features in thesoftware, this method proves unreliable in this specific case.
