ρ A = 0 at t = 0 (2) ρ A = HP0 at x = 0 (3) ρ A = HP at x = L (4)The boundary condition given by equation (4) is in terms of the unknown instantaneous pressurein the upper chamber. The auxiliary equation needed to determine this pressure can be obtainedfrom an integral mass balance on the upper chamber as follows: d V dP D S ∂ρ A ( cVu ) = u = − AB c

simplified into approachablemathematical terminology while still capturing essential system behavior.The methods outlined in the second case study extend the original aim presented to thestudents into discussions and considerations of multiple drug doses, complications ofmodeling of the human body, the issue of complex system modeling, and the concernsand factors involved in determining “how” to modeling severely complex systems.Through use of the first case study the students have been facing both mathematical andexperimental complications in the project and with the addition of the second case studythe overall project goal(s) are reinforced. The simulations students construct provideadditional paths for examination of behaviors in a very complex

averageof the midterm exam grades (40%, with the lowest of the three grades counting half as much aseach of the other two), the final exam grade (30%), homework grades, with team grades adjustedfor individual team citizenship (20%), and problem session quizzes and in-class exercises (10%).The grading criteria were as follows: >97=A+, 93–96.9=A, 90–92.9=A–, 87–89.9=B+,..., 63–66.9=D, 60–62.9=D–, <60=F. A grade of C– or better is required to move on to the next coursein the departmental curriculum. The course grade distribution was as follows, with “A” denoting grades of A+, A, and A–, and similarly for B, C, and D: A–18%, B–36%, C–27%, D–6%, F–9%, (S, U, IN)–4%.

they will lead theirrespective home teams through. Each core concept also has a hands-on module that allows forexperimentation and illustration. After the jigsawgroups have developed their teaching modules, thehome teams rotate through the core concepts. As allof this is going on the professor and TA(s) coach thegroups, spending time listening, asking guidingquestions, and correcting misconceptions. After this,the home teams have a design project thatincorporates all of the concepts covered.The hands on modules are small scale apparatusmounted on wheeled stands along with a whiteboard.The resulting unit is roughly six feet tall and four feetwide. Even though the modules are largely selfcontained and require minimal hookups, electricity
