Mathematical programming in the engineering education

In higher education those courses are very important, so that the students can immediately use in their own work. We can say, the themes of the course of Mathematical Programming are very important for our students. We have been teaching Operation Research for technical managers and for environmental protection engineers for years in Hungarian. The name of the subject is Mathematical Programming. At our university all student must learn one course in a foreign language, in English or in German. So we announced a course of Mathematical programming for the students in English language. The title of this course is Decision Supporting Systems. Our educational aims are to give mathematical and informatics definition for economical and organization type of problems, to find the exact and approach solving of these problems. The students get to know the (software) program packages that help to solve exercises. In each year not only Hungarian students can learn at this courses, but we have ERASMUS students, and these students can choose this course too. In the education we use the possibility of the e-learning system Moodle.
