Computer Modeling and Simulation in Engineering Education: Intended Learning Outcomes Development

Engineers need to know a wide spectrum of modern techniques and tools to be able to apply them in their professional work. Modeling and simulation are examples of the activities that are commonly undertaken by modern engineers, especially in the context of Industry 4.0 concept. Therefore, it is important that in the process of engineers' education the issues related to modeling and simulation should be strongly emphasized. This article attempts to show the benefits of using modeling and simulation techniques in the education of engineers. In addition, it proposes corresponding intended learning outcomes consistent with the Conali ontology and the Bloom's taxonomy. It also presents examples of modeling and simulation applications in engineering courses and shows the structure of possible tasks to be performed in the practical implementation of simulation.
