Abstract: The lack of specialists of engineering and precise sciences already for quite a long time causes problems to the development of economy in some countries. The lack of engineers hinders the introduction of science capacious technologies and the production with high added value. The EngiMod model described in the article serves the analysis of education system using system dynamics and simulation in STELLA environment. Special attention is devoted to influencing factors that affect the choice to study engineering sciences. STELLA 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.
