Simulations_B.A.

=//**Simulations**//= A simulation is an imitation or reproduction of a specific process. Simulations are used all the time in real-world situations in areas such as science, technology, engineering, education and many other fields. Simulation can be used to show the eventual real effects of alternative conditions and courses of action. For example, would a car company, who does not want to get sued, sell cars to consumers that were not properly tested (a simulation) for safety measures? Would a pharmaceutical company distribute a new drug to the public without knowing all potential side effects? Without simulation there would be no way to make new inventions possible.

//**Educational Application**//
Simulations have endless use in the field of education technology and learning. Science classrooms all over the country are using simulation technology to teach students complex processes like how blood flows through the human heart (click the link below to view an example of this) or the manner in which our galaxy rotates. With the help of simulations as a form of visual aid and interactive learning experience students are having a much easier time grasping these types of processes than they would have reading out of a text book.
