Mathematical simulation of engineering problems: on the art of formulation of mathematical models
31st Annual Frontiers in Education Conference. Impact on Engineering and Science Education. Conference Proceedings (Cat. No.01CH37193)
The structure, the objectives, and the methodology of a new engineering course are described. The course is intended as a facilitating step connecting the basic portions of an engineering program to the engineering sciences. The main objective of the course is the coaching of students for the art of problem formulation or modeling, approached with a strong appeal to the use of laws of conservation; emphasis is given to the splitting of the process into two steps, the use of a fundamental law,
