Transportation Engineering Virtual Lab Redesign

Learning microscopic traffic simulation for a Virtual Lab redesign. In addition, supplemental materials will be developed for student engagement and peer instruction. This course redesign aims to design a virtual lab particularly to support CE223L lab teaching. The goal is to build a virtual, visualized, simulation and game-based lab which can provide enough opportunities for students to practice major theories taught by the lecture course. The basic idea adopts the “campus-as-a-living-lab” idea suggested by the CSU Chancellor's Office to first design a multimodal transportation simulation environment and then have students experience fundamental theories in transportation engineering through playing this simulation/game.
