How Civil Engineers Use Modeling

🧠 In this video, we break down how civil engineers use modeling to make better, data-driven decisions. Based on Chapter 7 of the CVL 398 course, this summary walks you through the 10-step process of model building, from defining objectives to calibrating and evaluating results. You’ll learn how to structure a predictive model, choose the right variables, analyze data patterns, and interpret results using tools like R² and t-tests. Whether you're modeling pavement deterioration or forecasting cost overruns, this process is foundational in systems-level engineering. 📌 What’s Covered: 10 essential steps for model building Dependent vs. independent variables Choosing model forms (linear, quadratic, etc.) Regression, calibration, and Excel tools Best practices for evaluation and real-world application
