Abstract: This presentation highlights a transformative approach to teaching differential equations by prioritizing real-world modeling over traditional solution techniques. A modeling-first pedagogy enhances student engagement, problem-solving skills, and the application of mathematics across STEM fields. We will discuss strategies for implementing this approach, its impact on faculty and students, and its potential to improve outcomes in STEM education. Special attention will be given to the benefits of active learning and collaboration, particularly in supporting diverse student success. This talk will provide practical insights for reimagining differential equations instruction to better prepare students for real-world challenges.
