Meeting Abstract
Continuous and targeted engagement of student teams with practitioners and community partners can help create an exciting framework for interdisciplinary mathematical biology inquiry. In this talk I will discuss our experiences teaching modeling through a series of active learning course modules and capstone team projects in a one semester advanced undergraduate modeling course In a small liberal arts college. Challenges in arranging cohesive student teams as well as embedding outside guest lectures and hands on lab and field activities will be discussed.
