Abstract

Decision simulation games facilitate greatly the learning process of engineers in respect of acquiring leadership and managerial skills as well as ability to operate in a team. In the paper, a software system for development and implementation of decision simulation games created at Lublin Technical University is described along with practical observations gained from its usage in degree and postgraduate courses. The introduction of decision games into the course structure had a markedly positive impact on the effectiveness of teaching and learning and was positively received by both students and teachers
