Abstract

Abstract: As fundamental teaching units, courses serve as vital carriers of disciplinary knowledge transmission and critical bridges for converting research outcomes into educational content. The construction of simulation courses plays a pivotal role in developing the simulation discipline. The inaugural "Intelligence+ " symposium on simulation discipline and specialty construction focused on exploring the current state of simulation courses and pedagogy in China while examining future development directions. This report presented the key findings and discussions from the symposium regarding simulation courses and pedagogy. The analysis covered four parts: first, an overview of simulation course offerings and characteristics at European and American universities, as well as institutions within the Asia Simulation Federation; second, a comprehensive survey of undergraduate and graduate-level simulation courses currently available in China; third, a detailed examination of China's simulation course implementation, representative cases of simulation course system validation, and the pedagogical objectives and content design of flagship simulation courses; finally, a synthesis of countermeasures for advancing simulation course development and enhancing educational quality.
