Abstract
The article is devoted to simulation techniques in engineering education. The distinctive features that are useful for educational purposes are stressed. The author gives an example of using Building information models (BIMs) for postgraduate engineering students at practical English classes. The course design focuses on learning about virtual reality by simulating interdisciplinary industrial projects and it aims at developing skills such as methodical approach to practical engineering problems, teamwork and working in interdisciplinary groups.
