摘要：The learning of mathematical modelling techniques can result in a long and tedious process for Industrial Organization Engineering students. It is necessary to combine in a balanced way the theoretical teachings with the modelling of real study cases. In order to make more flexible the theoretical teaching process, multimedia tools of autodidactic learning are provided. A key factor is to evolve from simple models solved through educational programs, such as WinQSB or spreadsheets with embedded solvers to more complex models developed with a high level language of mathematical programming as MPL or GAMS where the models are solved with diverse commercial solvers (CPLEX, GUROBI, XPRESS, etc.) The objective of this paper is to present an innovative methodology to teach mathematical modelling techniques based in: (i) the balance of the theoretical and practical teachings; (ii) the use of multimedia autodidactic tools; and (iii) the formulation and resolution of real study cases through different solvers.
