This paper describes the use of interactive computer graphics and game technologies in a new mathematical modelling and simulation course at KTH Royal Institute of Technology that commenced in January 2015. In order to better engage students in the subject, elements of the course involved real-time physics scenarios using computer game technologies. An important secondary aim in the course was to develop the ability for students to define their own goals in the absence of specific tasks, which culminated in student-led projects. This paper briefly summarises the pedagogical approach, the course structure and presents a sample of student project work.
