  • Abstract
    For problem solving in engineering education a human-computer loop is required. By emphasizing two aspects, namely, interactive usage of the computer and optimization of the total man-machine time (rather than the machine operating time only), the total time required for obtaining a mathematical model and a solution is minimized. This allows a high degree of programming ability to be achieved by students in a short time.
