Using Matlab modeling in cody to teach Teletraffic engineering

Abstract

Engineering students are having to model increasingly complex constructed environments at the same time that their traditional mathematical skills are decreasing[?]. New approaches to modeling are needed. We started with the premise that students find mathematical modeling of Teletraffic problems challenging, and that this can be replaced through modeling in a “computational” environment such as Matlab. In this paper, we show how the Teletraffic Engineering part of a Network Management subject can be made more interesting and accessible. We plot the student satisfaction scores to show the effectiveness of the approach.
