A large amount of mathematical modeling, numerical simulation, 3D entity modeling, finite element simulation, and analysis used to obtain the research results of our scientific research projects is fed back and integrated into the teaching content of the Engineering System Modeling and Simulation course. The content system of this course is based on the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) aerospace engineering course and embodies the values and characteristics of HIT. It is constructed to meet the requirements of the \u201cTen Special Actions to Accelerate the Training of High-level Talented Person\u201d focused on by the Ministry of Education and the Academic Degree Committee of the State Council. The research results and implementation of the current work are expected to produce pedagogical benefits for the training of postgraduate students in mechanical engineering and promote the understanding and mastery of basic and professional knowledge. At the same time, this course can also enhance students\u2019 research ability, engineering ability, thinking ability, and innovative consciousness.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems11050225","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,2]],"date-time":"2023-05-02T01:36:27Z","timestamp":1682991387000},"page":"225","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["The Development and Teaching of the Postgraduate Course \u201cEngineering System Modeling and Simulation\u201d in Combination with Essentials Taken from Research Projects"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4640-7749","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaobiao","family":"Shan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Robotics and System, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Robotics and System, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7223-9553","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tao","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Robotics and System, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"122","DOI":"10.1002\/cae.21678","article-title":"A virtual laboratory for system simulation and control with undergraduate curriculum","volume":"24","author":"Ayas","year":"2016","journal-title":"Comput.
