DESCRIPTION
How do you evolve modeling and simulation software training to make it more relevant to actual workplace needs and the gamer generation? Modeling and simulation tools are the immersive environments that our next-generation engineers and scientists must master. These tools provide the means to design and build engineered systems as well as to investigate and visualize complex scientific phenomena. The modeling and simulation industry is a $6 billion U.S. industry that is central to innovation in high-growth industries and the advancement of scientific discovery. The gamer generation -- the next generation of modeling and simulation experts -- will dominate the workforce and they are already changing the rules of business. All the hours immersed in game culture have created masses of employees with unique attributes: bold but measured risk taking, amazing ability to multitask, and unexpected leadership skills: 21st century skills that employers want.

A Consistent Design and Deployment Methodology for All Levels of Expertise
• Roleplaying games offer context for career and professional development
• A roleplaying game system allows players of all ages and levels of experience to learn using the same methodology
• Youth play "professional" roles, learning 21st century skills and building critical career knowledge
• Professionals are placed in contexts where they must work as teams solving problems; not just as individuals learning software features
• The use of professional modeling and simulation tools are central to play
• M&S tools, real world data sets and 3D elements are the roleplaying “props” that support the story line and character development
• All industry verticals and scientific disciplines can be served
