Abstract
Educators often confront the difficulties of engaging students' interest. This paper examines the development of a survey to measure the impact of using a simulation game versus writing a traditional term paper in an advanced engineering economics class. The final objective of this research is to compare the interest level, expectations, indepth thought development and enthusiasm of the students working on the simulation project versus students doing a traditional term paper assignment. Preliminary survey results showed some interesting insights when comparing traditional versus simulation projects.
