Abstract

The primary goal of this research has been to examine the perceptions related to the use of simulation software in the context of e-learning at Engineering PSUT in Jordan, which is acknowledged as one of the leading private universities in the country. The present study and a descriptive study utilized a 25-item survey given to 270 students. The research findings indicate that, according to the students’ subjective viewpoint, the effectiveness of simulation software in the context of online learning was observed to be significantly high. This observation is supported by an average score of 3.89 and a standard deviation of 0.959, indicating a relatively consistent perception among the participants. The study’s results indicate that there were no significant variations observed in terms of academic year, computer skills, student GPA or gender parameters. The research findings underscore the importance of incorporating simulation software in higher educational institutions to improve the teaching and learning experience.
