The research data were collected using semi-structured interview technique in qualitative data collection method and analyzed conducting the context analysis method. The analysis of the data revealed that academic staffs of engineering and architecture faculties have positive approach to the use educational computer simulations and games in their courses; however they could not be able to employ the games in their class due to deficiencies of the games and simulations appropriate for the curriculum and lack of games in Turkish. Furthermore, using educational computer games and simulations in the engineering courses may improve the quality of instruction, motivate students and make courses more enjoyable according to academic staff views. © 2019 CEUR-WS.
