Science and Engineering Models - I

Michael Mayor, MSE, PE

This presentation will introduce Science and Engineering Models applied to the System Design and Development of Engineering Systems

Scientific Models are representations of objects, systems or events and are used as tools for understanding the natural world. Models use familiar objects to represent unfamiliar things. Models can help you visualize, or picture in your mind, something that is difficult to see or understand.

Engineering Models are used to analyze and refine existing systems. These models can be used to test design features and communicate those features to others.

Models can be an extensive variety ranging from physical material models to mathematical models. In this presentation we will address mathematical models as applied to Geolocation Systems.
