UCI research in software engineering education focuses on the application and adaptation of simulation game technology, such as SimCity or The Sims, to the classroom. Complementing traditional software engineering teaching practices that are heavily focused towards projects, we are designing a simulation environment in which students play to study and learn software engineering. Specific goals of this research are to introduce to students decision making, tradeoff analysis, and an overall view of software engineering and its fundamental laws..
