The number of scientific publications about serious games has exponentially increased, often surpassing human limitations in processing such a large volume of information. Consequently, the importance of frameworks for summarising such fast‐expanding literature has also grown. This paper draws a panorama of serious game research streams, focusing on higher education in engineering and management. The research design involves a systematic review using PRISMA guidelines, along with bibliometric and content analyses. The sample comprises 701 documents collected from both Scopus and Web of Science databases. For supporting bibliometric analyses, Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny tools are employed. In addition, a coding schema is developed for in‐depth analysis of 701 documents selected according to the inclusion criteria. In short, the literature on serious games for engineering and management education grows more rapidly than modern science, following a globalised, collaborative and context‐based trajectory. The results reveal five main research streams: game design guidelines, game design cases, game experiment guidelines, game experiment cases and generalists. These streams are summarised in a proposed framework. Cross‐tabulation and statistical analyses conducted in SPSS Statistics identify the key relationships amongst the research streams. Finally, opportunities to investigate serious games for sustainable development education arise, and there is a need for future efforts to formalise the framework classification algorithm. Practitioner notesWhat is already known about this topic Scientific production related to Serious Games (SGs) has grown exponentially in a globalised manner. It reflects the interest from various domains, particularly the field of sustainability in management. Literature reviews on SGs have emphasised various topics, including the acceptance of simulations and games as effective methods of teaching and learning. The role of technology‐enhanced games and simulations in the context of digital transformation in education and the emergence of sustainability as a promising field for future SGs research are also highlighted. The literature has introduced three categories for empirical research on SGs: (1) game presentation, (2) game evaluation and (3) game effectiveness. It has also highlighted methodological rigour as a common challenge across studies. What this paper adds Scientific research on SGs in Engineering and Management Higher Education (EMHE) experiences exponential and significantly faster growth compared to modern science in a globalised and collaborative manner. This growth reveals the scarcity of experts in this area and attracts the attention of various fields, particularly in the realm of sustainability. Thematic trajectories indicate a decline in discussions regarding users' perceptions of SGs and their validity as educational tools. They also demonstrate consistency in discussions about SGs design, and the potential of sustainability emerges as a promising area for future SGs in EMHE. A comprehensive framework composed by five primary research streams connects game design cases and guidelines, game experiment cases and guidelines and generalists. This framework can serve as a lens for future context‐based literature reviews, and the relationships amongst its streams reinforce the idea that the field can benefit from increased methodological rigour in experiments. Implications for practice and/or policy This review offers categorised supplementary material in which educators can discover a variety of artefacts for application in their specific educational contexts. Designers can access guidelines for enhancing the design of innovative games. Researchers can access guidelines for more effective evaluation of their artefacts across various contexts. Finally, policymakers can explore numerous experiments to inform decisions related to technology‐enhanced innovations in the classroom.

“…En general, se ha evidenciado que el uso de las técnicas de gamificación en los procesos de enseñanza de la Ingeniería Industrial logra aumentar la implicación y la motivación de los estudiantes en su proceso de aprendizaje [10], [11]; combinar teoría y práctica; facilitar la asimilación del aprendizaje; proporcionar una retroalimentación inmediata que no necesariamente llega del docente, sino de los grupos de trabajo, lo cual permite que los errores animen a los estudiantes a intentarlo de nuevo, a continuar aprendiendo y potenciar el espíritu crítico e investigativo frente a un problema que se simula en su entorno de aprendizaje; es decir, se logra convertir el aprendizaje de conceptos que tradicionalmente se conciben como difíciles en algo divertido [12]- [14].…”

La enseñanza y aprendizaje de la Ingeniería Industrial requiere la constante reinvención de estrategias y métodos para el aprendizaje efectivo de los conceptos teóricos y prácticos, lo que incluye pensar en métodos lúdicos que permitan generar interés a través del espíritu competitivo e investigativo de los estudiantes. Este artículo, presenta una lúdica enfocada en construir el concepto de productividad con base en la comparación de dos de los sistemas productivos más conocidos en la industria como lo los sistemas Flow shop y Job shop. Con esta lúdica, se ha logrado demostrar que los jugadores no solo comprenden la definición de productividad, sino que aprenden sobre las ventajas y desventajas de cada tipo de sistema de producción de forma efectiva.

“…Instead of serving as a design tool for solving artistic or technical problems, IDSPs seek to systematize the design process ( Nordin, 2018 ; Aldoy and Andrew Evans, 2021 ). As the number of digital natives increases and the range of digital design tools/media expands, the groundwork for a fully digital industrial design process is being laid ( Pauliuk et al, 2022 ; Urgo et al, 2022 ). Using only the perceptual thinking and creativity of industrial designers, or exaggerating the role of quantitative data in the field of emotional cognition, on the other hand ( Venturini, 2022 ), is a more one-sided approach to industrial design ( Xiao and Cheng, 2020 ).…”

With the deep integration of industries brought about by big data technology, users’ design needs are diversifying and individuating. Thanks to big data technology, users’ diverse design needs can be precisely met. Meanwhile, big data can be used to realize emotional interaction for personalized design needs of users, resulting in a better user experience. Using grounded theory to mine user demand text data, this paper investigates the influencing factors of emotional interaction and dynamic resource allocation in the digital design supply chain. The results show that government-driven factors have a direct impact on the demand for industrial design in user emotional interactions. Market factors are the most fundamental in the development of an industrial design service platform, and universities play an important role in this. Furthermore, a lack of market sensitivity stems from a lack of emotional interaction with users, resulting in a schism between industry, university, and research, which has become a major impediment to the development of China’s industrial design industry. This study not only lays the theoretical groundwork for understanding the mechanisms of user emotional interaction on IDSPs, but it also points the way forward for future industrial design service platform development.
