1-100-S-EngineeringDemographics
20 Aug 2021 | | Contributor(s):: Brody Dylan Johnson, Elodie Pozzi
The goal of this activity is to show students how population models can be used to examine social issues. The students will examine three different population models and will use numerical methods to apply each model to demographic data for the percentage of engineering degrees awarded to women...

1-081-S-TumorGrowth
09 Jun 2018 | | Contributor(s):: Randy Boucher, Ryan Edmund Miller
Students will transform, solve, and interpret a tumor growth scenario using non-linear differential equation models. Two population growth models (Gompertz and logistic) are applied to model tumor growth. Students use technology to solve the Gompertz model and answer a series of questions...

2015-McIlwain, Hope - Tumor growth/Gompertz model article in PRIMUS
14 Jul 2015 | | Contributor(s):: Hope McIlwain
Abstract of the article: The use of modeling projects serves to integrate, reinforce, and extend student knowledge. Here we present two projects related to tumor growth appropriate for a first course in differential equations. They illustrate the use of problem-based learning to...
