The theory and materials are presented in the classperiods, and are driven home during project preparation. The projects have forced the studentsto indeed “think outside the box”. This course curriculum has undoubtedly tied many ideas andpreviously learned material together. As a student that learns through hands on experience, asmost students in this field are, I can say with conviction that due to the lab work associated withthis class, I now understand the practical application of differential equations.
