AbstractProject management training is an important component in engineering education; in particular, simulation-based training (SBT) is considered a valuable teaching strategy. However, the effectiveness of SBT in project management education has not been empirically examined and it remains unclear in the literature why some trainees benefit from SBT more than others. To address this gap, the authors conducted two pre-/post-test experimental design studies, involving area experts and graduate students with a range of individual differences in two project management courses in the United States and Australia. The results suggest that SBT (1) enhances trainees’ declarative knowledge only in cases of successful performance in the simulation, and the existence of an appropriate gap (discussed in the paper) between the trainees’ prior knowledge and the challenges presented by the simulator; and (2) energizes trainees’ learning processes only in cases of success in the simulation, high prior knowledge level, ...
