Simulation for education

Process simulation for education.Understand the process. Develop the skills.

Give operator students a process to practise on, and engineering students the tools to build their own models. Mobatec supports both with web-based training simulators and discounted Mobatec Modeller licences.

Two ways to learn with simulation

Choose the learning environment.

Match the tool to the skills your students need to develop.

For operator students

Let students operate a simulated process through their browser. Guided activities combine practical interaction, questions and scoring within your school's LMS, with scores returned to its gradebook.

  • Web-based operator training simulators
  • Guided simulations with questions and scoring
  • Scores returned to the LMS gradebook

For engineering students

Help students connect a physical process to its mathematical model. Mobatec Modeller makes the equations visible and supports model building without programming.

  • Equation-based process modelling and simulation
  • Automatically generated mass and energy balances
  • Discounted academic licences for the Windows application

Operator education

Let students operate the process.

A web-based operator training simulator turns process behaviour into something students can explore for themselves.

Students interact with a simulated process and observe how it responds to their decisions. Teachers can bring that practical experience into lessons about process operation, connecting an explanation to what students see happening in the model.

  • Access the simulator through a web browser
  • Connect practical interaction to process understanding
  • Use guided simulations as part of your teaching

Guided practice

From a learning task to a recorded score.

Questions and scoring give each guided simulation a clear learning activity to work through.

  1. Follow the task

    Start with the instructions for the guided simulation activity.

  2. Interact with the process

    Work with the simulator and observe how the process responds.

  3. Answer the questions

    Use the experience gained in the simulation to answer the activity's questions.

  4. Return the score to the gradebook

    The activity's score returns automatically to the school's LMS gradebook.

Within your learning environment

From simulator activity to LMS gradebook.

Students play the guided training simulations within the school's Learning Management System, and their scores return to its gradebook.

Keep the simulator activity, questions and answers in the learning environment your school uses, with scores returned automatically to the LMS gradebook. We agree the integration and setup with your school so the simulation fits the way you deliver teaching.

  • Guided simulation activities played inside the school LMS
  • Questions and answers with automatic gradebook score return
  • Integration discussed and agreed with your school

Engineering education

Build a model. See the equations.

Give engineering students a transparent way to connect process diagrams, engineering equations and simulation results.

Mobatec Modeller is a Windows desktop application for equation-based process modelling and simulation. Students build a flowsheet and work with equations written almost as they would on paper, without having to program the model.

The software automatically generates the component mass and energy balances from the model definition. Students can focus on the process relationships, inspect the equations and explore the resulting behaviour.

  • Visible equations and an understandable model structure
  • Automatically generated component mass and energy balances
  • A connection between the process, its equations and simulation results

Planning simulation in your teaching

Questions from schools and universities.

Start with what your students should learn, then choose the environment that supports it.

Which environment is right for our students?

Web-based operator training simulators let operator students interact with a simulated process through guided activities. Mobatec Modeller gives engineering students a Windows desktop environment for building process models and working with their equations. We can discuss the needs of your teaching team.

Can students play the simulations within our LMS?

Yes. The guided web-based operator training simulations run within the school's LMS, with questions, answers and scoring. Scores return automatically to its gradebook. We agree the integration and setup with your school.

Do students need programming knowledge to use Mobatec Modeller?

No programming is required to build models in Mobatec Modeller. Students work with a flowsheet and write engineering equations almost as they would on paper. The software generates the required code and the component mass and energy balance equations.

Is Mobatec Modeller also a browser application?

Mobatec Modeller is a Windows desktop application. Our web-based operator training simulators provide the browser-based learning environment for operating a simulated process.

How do we arrange academic licences?
