Focus

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. Game-Based Learning 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 to education proves to be more and more a very promising concept to strengthen self-regulated personalized learning.

Thus, the special track Game-Based Learning within the ICL 2017 Conference, 27-29 September 2017, aims at discussing theoretical concepts and successful applications of game-based learning in the context of engineering education or further studies in this field.
