International Journal of Engineering Education, 2011, 27, 4, 703–712This paper presents and motivates the development of a techno-economic education package, consisting of two simulation games,
to simulate both the trading and the generation of electricity in a liberalized market. Six attributes (storytelling; players as problem
solvers and explorers; feedback; challenges that fit the student characteristics; competition; appropriate graphics and sounds) are
relevant in order for simulation games to achieve their learning potentials. These attributes are identified within both developed
simulation games.

The interaction of “Contracts”, “Markets” and “Law and Regulation” have informed the economic analysis of market economies for over 40 years. One of the main lessons learnt is that (contracts), [...]
Rail transport and inland waterways are crucial to achieve the objectives outlined in the Green Deal agenda. These aims include a 55% reduction in greenhouse gases by 2030 and attaining [...]
Urban mobility plays a key role for the promotion of the socio-economic development of a country. Particularly, MaaS platforms are important for those daily journeys made by travellers that must [...]
