Abstract
The aim of the present study is to formulate a model that describes the dynamics of university students on the basis of continuous time differential equations and Petri Nets. Students are modeled by continuous time functions that represent their ability to deal with theoretical concepts and put them into practice. In addition, the curriculum is seen as a set of activities that students can select according to their willingness. The application of the model to public data of aerospace engineering students will be the subject of future work.
