Transforming the first-year engineering experience through authentic problem-solving: taking a models and modeling perspective.

A models and modeling perspective led to Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs), authentic mathematical modeling problems, being introduced into a first-year engineering program in 2002. A design research perspective then led to iterative improvements in the design of these activities, strategies for the...
