This paper will focus on one university’s efforts to incorporate real world simulation experiences into a facility design course. The instructor’s real world experience with using a cost effective and user friendly simulation package to design, build and start-up a $110 million manufacturing facility were used to develop applicable classroom exercises to achieve appropriate student learning outcomes. Exercises reflect lessons learned in real world applications to incorporate facility support efforts such as process flow optimization and staffing level determinations as well as basic layout issues. Examples of exercises with intended learning outcomes will also be included. Introduction Process simulation software has proven itself to be a key problem solving tool in developing value minded graduates of engineering technology programs. Whether students find employment in manufacturing, healthcare or service industries, they will all be faced with decision making and problem solving involving increasingly complex systems and rapidly changing technology. With this in mind, theoretical concepts such as queuing theory, regression analysis, takt time calculations, as well as other traditional work flow analysis and process improvement concepts become more and more difficult for students to grasp and apply within a classroom setting. Engineering technology students, specifically those focused in industrial and manufacturing engineering technology programs, need access to hands-on support tools for analyzing the effects that their localized changes are likely to have on the big picture system. Incorporating discrete event process simulation models into routine class assignments is one way of achieving this expanded skill set for students, or, as stated by Dr. Stephens, an Industrial Technology Professor, “… in an educational setting, computer simulation can be used to add a life-like dimension when difficult and abstract models are studied.” (1) Simulation is being increasingly recognized as a useful and practical technique, especially in giving a realistic view of the system under study. Different scenarios can be analyzed in order to investigate which configuration is the best to meet the objective. (2) Traditional theoretical teaching methods teach engineering technology students the basics for problem solving. When used accordingly, simulation can enhance a student’s problem solving skills. For this reason, experience with discrete event process simulation software, often associated with the Industrial Engineering Technology (IET) or Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MfET) disciplines, provides graduates with a unique and marketable skill. Unfortunately, as with most engineering technology curriculum, there is often little opportunity to add an additional course dedicated to" @default.
