SIMU 3050U – Simulation Design and Applied Methodology


This course develops students’ ability to design, implement, and evaluate complete simulation experiences. Learners apply educational frameworks and technical expertise to create realistic, learner-centered simulations that integrate fidelity, safety, and inclusivity. Teaching methods include seminars, collaborative workshops, and iterative design reviews guided by faculty and simulation specialists. Students engage in the full design cycle—planning learning objectives, developing scenarios, facilitating sessions, and conducting debriefs and evaluations. Assignments include design reflections, scenario blueprints, and a capstone simulation project supported by peer and instructor feedback. Through this process, students strengthen creative, analytical, and leadership skills, preparing to apply design thinking and evaluation methodologies in advanced simulation practice. The course culminates in a final reflective synthesis that demonstrates readiness for professional integration and continued development in the field of simulation operations.
