    SIMIODE – Systemic Initiative for Modeling Investigations and Opportunities with Differential Equations is a fully supportive community of teachers and learners. SIMIODE provides an open environment for teaching and learning differential equations using modeling and technology throughout the entire experience. Rich modeling scenarios, data sets, and videos will motivate and support the teaching and learning and there will be ample traditional text readings and exercises as well. All teaching material in SIMIODE is built from best learning practices by members of the SIMIODE community. The HUB nature of SIMIODE provides for collaborative teaching and learning within and across campus coursework. www.simiode.org

    I co-designed, co-lead, and co-built the Integrated First-Year Curriculum in Science, Engineering, and Mathematics with my colleague DR Jeffrey Froyd (now at Texas A&M University, College of Engineering) and others in a team of faculty. IFYCSEM offered first year students ALL their STEM course work in one 12 credit course which was team taught to a cohort of 90 students by a team of 8 faculty. The project was heavily supported by the National Science Foundation, GE Foundation, and Lilly Endownment. However, we were not skilled enough to convince sufficient numbers of our colleagues to support the IFYCSEM effort and so it did not continue beyond about 11 years.
