Modeling and simulation help determine the viability of concepts and provide insight into expected system performance. For example, before constructing a retail outlet, customer demand can …

Modeling involves anchoring instruction in complex phenomena, making students’ thinking visible throughout the learning process, supporting changes in these models in response to evidence …

BIG question: Why controller designed for a model would ever work with a real system?

Polygonal modeling: 3D modeling objects by using polygons to make rough estimates of surfaces. In polygon modeling, vertices, edges, and faces are all worked on. Rapid prototyping: The …

Modeling and simulation (M&S) provides virtual duplication of products and processes, and represents those products or processes in readily available and operationally valid …

This section describes the process of using modeling and includes following the unique steps of selected modeling procedure, providing prompting and reinforcement.

While such informal representations can be useful, a model must meet certain expectations for it to be considered within the scope of modeling and simulation for SE.
