Chapter 10

Here’s were we will put color versions of the images, updates, and other extras.

The simulations we have been looking at and talking about have been fairly generic simulations that could be used for any number of purposes. Most of the simulations that are created and used throughout the world are either experimental simulations intended to answer some question or ‘what-if’ scenario or experiential simulations built to assist in the design of equipment, buildings, and systems. A growing number of simulations and games are being used for training and education and these have special requirements. In this chapter we look at how things change when we decide to use a simulation for education.
