Abstract

The lack of specialists of engineering and precise sciences is no longer a surprise, but already for quite a long time it causes problems to the development of economy of these fields in some countries. The EngiMod model described in the article serves the analysis of possible affecting factors using system dynamics and simulation in STELLA possibilities. It allows easily manipulating with the weight of the significant factors and interactively acquiring the necessary predictions. According to the primary conditions and statistical data, it is possible to model and predict the development of the situation in any time period. EngiMod multilevel model can be adapted to the needs of other sectors.
