  Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering Seminar"Research in Serious Games for Teaching Complex Technical Skills: A Systems Approach"Dr. Azad M. MadniCEO and Chief Scientist, Intelligent Systems Technology Inc., Los Angeles, CaliforniaABSTRACT: This talk will present a research initiative concerned with exploring the feasibility of employing serious games with player cognitive state monitoring to teach complex technical skills (e.g., equipment maintenance and troubleshooting). Each research challenge inherent in this problem will be identified and briefly discussed. The research hypotheses associated with each challenge area will be presented along with the research plan. The approach taken to answer questions in each research area will be presented along with the systems architecting and engineering approaches used to conquer problem complexity, perform tradeoffs, and incrementally evaluate and integrate the various subsystems. The talk will conclude with a summary of research findings and generalizability of the overall approach to developing serious games for teaching complex technical skills.
