The present paper explains, how a simulation-based study course raised significant interest in discrete-event simulation, finally undergoing a simulation focused course. The simulation based course during the course "Production structures and design" used a model for own studies, acting as a test-bed for optimal setup-time optimization. An easy access to simulation technology was provided by an Excel-based front end, where any figures related to the model were available for student's analysis. Nevertheless the students started to act on their own with the Enterprise Dynamics based simulation model, discovering the benefits of simulation. High-quality elaborations of the students were finally achieved, going far beyond of just answering the related questions. In addition, due to the part-time study program, interest in the company's approach on production planning raised. Subsequently the demand for further dedicated courses in computer simulation raised and were finally addressed.
