Steve Nguyen, a hydraulic engineer with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers Jacksonville District, creates and uses models every day to help determine water flows in civil works and environmental restoration projects, as well as during emergency operations. Growing up, Nguyen was surrounded by positive role models who helped shape the person he is today.
According to Webster’s New World College Dictionary, a model can be "a system of postulates, data, and inferences presented as a mathematical description of an entity or state of affairs" or "an example for imitation or emulation." The list of definitions is extensive. (US Army video by Brigida I. Sanchez)
