(Many students choose to) use 1 or 2 packages to study a transport problem
Minor Research Thesis
Modelling in the ME
Issue is balance of theory and application
Understanding of concepts and theories (and data) is crucial Software packages take time to master In a crowded curriculum, time allocation is always a concern
Discussion
As a distraction, you may want to solve the Floyds Knob traffic maze
(a diabolical traffic management plan)
