Your name: DASI Systems engineering group; Contact Shraga Shoval
Field or discipline: Engineering
Program: Systems engineering
Course: Systems Engineering
Year level: 2
Class size: 20
Activity type: Practice-based learning; using simulation software
Description: Students are asked to model a complex system of their choice (airport, nuclear power station) using STELLA software. Once modelled, they then investigate the behaviour of the model and draw conclusions based on the simulations within STELLA. Students then submit of 1500 word assignment and TellUs2 feedback form. The benefits include allowing students to develop holistic approach to engineering which gives students an appreciation of complex systems and a multidisciplinary view. Various systems thinking tools and techniques are utilised.
Application: STELLA can be used to help students understand the complex systems that they need to operate in. Perhaps the students using STELLA in this course can create models of complex systems in other disciplines.

This great idea is now been supported by a UniSA teaching and Learning grant
