Special Track "Games Engineering"

Download Call as PDF

Overview

Today, electronic games are more than just pastimes – they are platforms through which we experience virtual situations, try out strategies, and develop respectively simulate new ideas. Games engineering is set to grow rapidly in the near future. Its wide range of engineering applications include automotive, aerospace and systems engineering, medicine, banking, and management. In this context applying games engineering to education more and more proves to be a very promising concept to strengthen self-regulated personalized learning.

Thus the special track Games Engineering within the EDUCON2017 conference aims for the first time at discussing theoretical concepts and successful applications of games engineering in the context of engineering education or further studies in this field.
