ABSTRACT:
This work presents the development of two educational games, GeoDetective and GeoMaster, designed to enhance learning. "GeoDetective: the USCS Challenge" simulates the soil classification process using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS), transforming students into "geotechnical engineering detectives." "GeoMaster: Engineering in Play" raises the complexity by integrating soil classification (USCS and TRB/AASHTO) with civil engineering project management. The proposed application of these games in educational environments has the potential to demonstrate a significant increase in student engagement and the reinforcement of active learning. The games seek to develop fundamental skills such as logical reasoning, critical analysis, technical argumentation, decision-making under uncertainty, resource management, systemic vision, integration, and enjoyment. By gamifying practical situations and simulating professional decisions, GeoDetective and GeoMaster aim to make theoretical concepts in geotechnics more tangible and to promote the development of technical and behavioral skills essential for the training of technicians and civil engineers.
