Abstract :
The successful outcome of any educational program is highly dependent on how the students learn and how effectively they can function at the workplace after completion of their study. An appropriate delivery system plays a crucial role to understand and learn a subject. Integration of modeling in general and mathematical modeling in particular in engineering education may provide the most suitable delivery system for engineering programs.
