IMPROVEMENT OF STOCHASTIC MODELLING SKILLS FOR A SUSTAINABLE EDUCATION IN ENGINEERING

Abstract

Deterministic and stochastic models play an important role in engineering, economics, and the natural sciences. Despite this, the development of stochastic modelling skills in engineering students is less emphasized, and this part of modelling knowledge is less well founded in secondary education. The concept of sustainable education is based on the idea that education is driven by the implication and energy of the students and teachers and their natural energy for learning is continuously renewed. In this article, we describe an approach that uses simple tools to highlight the role and importance of the stochastic approach in engineering and also serves as a model for developing application skills that equip learners with the knowledge and values needed to build a more sustainable and resilient future for all.
