摘　　要：An engineering application tool for prediction of the static equilibrium bay （ Beach Mod） is established to describe two bay shape formulas by use of the programming software ＂MATLAB＂ with a graphic user interface （ GUI）. The tool is user-friendly for engineering students for the design of beach shapes. This tool was tested through application on three types of beaches in Taiwan and Australia. By implementing the concept of Headland Control, the Beach Mod program allows users to draw a structure and create an ＇artificial headland. The results indicate that Beach Mod can efficiently forecast beach changes as well as MEPBAY, a competing software package, while boasting a better user interface.An engineering application tool for prediction of the static equilibrium bay （ Beach Mod） is established to describe two bay shape formulas by use of the programming software ＂MATLAB＂ with a graphic user interface （ GUI）.
