With this past contest, Simio had a total of 255 students participate in the competition. These students came from 22 schools throughout 10 countries. These competitions not only challenge student model-building skills, but also require some creativity, project management, and even video production and presentation skills. This past semester's competition problem was loosely based off an actual transportation logistics problem at Shell Oil Company. The next competition will start around September and will be a healthcare simulation problem.
