Learning Objectives of the Mathematical Modeling throughout the Curriculum linking course:

In addition to and in coordination with the general goals of the M302 courses, students in M302: Mathematical Modeling will...

• Understand and apply the modeling process.
• Learn how to pose conceptually focused modeling problems.
• Create modeling activities that connect concepts between different mathematical content areas.
• Create modeling activities that connect mathematical content with other disciplines.
• Learn how to use various technologies effectively as tools in the modeling process.
• Develop an understanding of linear regression and median fit line to model linear data.
• Develop an understanding of non-linear models to fit data.
• Recognize and apply the power of simulations to model real situations.
• Learn to develop a rubric for assessing a modeling lesson.
