SHS/FlexSim Student Simulation Competition
Each year, FlexSim sponsors the Society for Health Systems (SHS) Student Simulation Competition. Teams of ISE students from around the world solve a real-world healthcare situational case study using FlexSim Healthcare, 3D simulation software specifically designed for health systems modeling. This blog post takes a closer look at how the competition has positively impacted the student participants.
Industrial Engineering and Simulation Experience Using FlexSim Software
This article, authored by Dr. Emre Tokgöz and published in the Computers in Education Journal, shows how FlexSim was used in a simulation course aimed at Industrial Engineering students and provides a pedagogical method for teaching a simulation course.
