<p>Which engineering programs provide modelling skills? I think EE uses modelling in circuit analysis and IEOR for traffic modelling. Does ME teach you how to model a physical environment/system and solve it mathematically?</p>
<p>What do you consider modeling?</p>
<p>I’m confused by the question as well. The purpose of engineering is not to model the existing environment, but to design solutions to problems to be implemented. </p>
<p>by the way, traffic modeling is 110% civil engineering. I used to work at a traffic engineering firm, and most everybody had either an urban planning degree or a civil engineering degree. no IEOR people. maybe you’re thinking of supply chain management?</p>
<p>runway modeling</p>
<p>A model is a pattern, plan, representation (especially in miniature), or description designed to show the main object or workings of an object, system, or concept (Wiki)</p>
<p>I meant mathematical or scientific modelling in the sense that a mathematical representation of a circuit on paper would be a model of the circuit. A mathematical equation of a rain drop falling through a cloud and collecting mass would also be a form of modelling. Econometrics is also a form of statistical modellig.</p>
<p>Engineering is also about improvement. If you want to improve the stability of aircraft, you will first have to model how one behaves by using computational methods for analysis for example.</p>
<p>Yes, you will model.</p>
<p>Biomedical Engineering is a lot of mathematical modeling of physiological systems. The non-linearity of biological systems adds a huge level of complexity. This is probably what makes the major so difficult. At JHU we have a core BME class called “Models & Simulations.”</p>
