The MODEL.LA Modeling Methodology
MODEL.LA contains no predefined models. Rather it leads students through a structured sequence of modeling
decisions--decisions the student makes based on the context of some engineering problem.
From these decisions, MODEL.LA will automatically derive the necessary modeling equations and guide the student through their numerical solution.
Thus, the educational focus shifts from textbook equation selection and solution, to the richer task of model formulation and analysis of process behavior.
