Utilization of simulation for training enhancement

Engineering system design, operation, and maintenance has been handled for a long time through mathematical and real time models. The advent of computers, multimedia age, and improvement in visualization has further proved the reality of fact that picture speaks more than words; also, research in ed...

The complexity of real world situation of engineering education has obvious limitations of instructional presentation and training. Simulation gives result from theoretical representation of complex phenomena when hardware for the task is lacking, or in situations when enough time is not available for explanation.
