Differential Equations Course Module for the Superior Student - Curriculum Development

Abstract

The need to provide a more stimulating academic program for the superior cadets at the Air Force Academy has been identified. The report describes the concept of inserting a module of lessons into a course to transform it into a more challenging version. Three specific approaches for providing more challenge to students are discussed. The new curriculum course in differential equations for technical, majors, Math 245, serves as the specific example. The modular concept can be applied to a broad range of courses.
