Teaching and Learning Discrete-Event Applying of Simulation Technology´s with WITNESS in Higher Education

The development of simulation technology provides a technical base for multimedia teaching to realize three-dimensional, dynamic, extensive forms, but how to apply simulation technology to improve the quality of modern education is a challenge the college teaching is facing. Simulation science and technology is not only a new education method, but also a new means of practice and experiment. More importantly, it is also the basis of intelligent education in future. All of these views are verified in practical application. For reforming higher education, the ways to combine simulation technology with modern educational means are studied from the aspects of space state, dynamic process and net classroom etc, and the search is useful for better applying simulation technology. This paper has introduced a successful and popular choice for simulation modeling course. The approach seems highly motivating and makes simulation fun for a wider range of students, especially those with no or very little programming skills. Rational application of simulation technology to the modern education can improve students study interest, help students form knowledge model, expand educated objects and reduce educating cost so that bring better educating effect than tradition education.
