Engineers rely on mathematical modeling as a tool for their work and as a teaching tool in engineering schools.
Mathematical modeling exercises for first-year engineering students are the focus of this research review. The literature
evaluation approach resulted in the selection of twenty-seven journal articles according to predetermined inclusion and
exclusion criteria. Students' approaches to mathematical modeling, teachers' use of mathematical modeling in the
classroom, and how to evaluate students' progress all emerged as significant issues. Understanding the impact of
modeling activities on the learning of undergraduate engineering students and the most effective ways for implementing
mathematical modeling are both provided by the study's results. Also included are things to think about while evaluating
mathematical modeling projects. In order to get a comprehensive understanding of mathematical modeling activities and
their genuine value in engineering education, this research also finds holes in the literature that need to be filled.
