Gamification of Incentives and Mechanism Design in Systems Engineering

摘要

In this paper, gamification is examined as a possible training and education tool for internal and external organization communication. A review of gamification is conducted, with a focus on its use in teaching, as well as its relationship to various systems engineering research areas. Simple games related to Systems Engineering are introduced to demonstrate how mathematical principles associated with decision analysis can be incorporated. Finally, an outline for a game is proposed that incorporates the essence of the mathematically rigorous methods of mechanism design and value-driven design. Future work is discussed including a path towards human studies.
