DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/ESME/44/">Fo
 stering engagement through interdisciplinary projects\, collaborative team
 s\, and scaffolded autonomy: Making math for everyone (and especially for 
 engineers)</a>\nby John Geddes and  Sarah Spence Adams (Olin College) as p
 art of Online Seminar On Undergraduate Mathematics Education\n\n\nAbstract
 \nIn this talk\, John and Sarah will discuss how fostering student engagem
 ent is a central theme of the mathematics curriculum at Olin College of En
 gineering. From day one\, interdisciplinary projects and collaborative tea
 ming experiences help cultivate student ownership in learning. Courses use
  increasing levels of autonomy in various ways to help keep motivation (an
 d morale!) high. While a major goal of our curriculum is to develop studen
 ts’ project management skills alongside their quantitative analysis skil
 ls\, we believe that nurturing an environment of joy and camaraderie insid
 e our classrooms could be the most important ingredient for deep learning.
