SCUDEM I 2017 - Student Competition Using Differential Equation Modeling
18On 14 October 2017 SIMIODE held its Inaugural Student Competition Using Differential Equation Modeling – SCUDEM at Mount Saint Mary College, Newburgh NY USA.
In this video students and faculty share their enthusiasm for using modeling to learn differential equations and to use differential equations to model and solve real problems.
At the SCUDEM 2017 site (www.simiode.org/scudem/2017/competition-submissions) we offer complete results including the statement of the posed problems, the additional issues offered on Competition Saturday, results with all student submissions, award information, this video, a PowerPoint overview of the event, MathBowl fun competition (with and without answers!) We announce SCUDEM 2018.
This competition is for three member teams of students. SCUDEM takes place over a week-long period that begins on Friday, 13 April 2018, at each team’s individual home campus and culminates on Competition Saturday, 21 April 2018, at a nearby regional host site in the United States and beyond. For complete details visit SCUDEM at www.simiode.org/scudem.
We are seeking host sites and if you at your institution are interested see details at the same site. Complete site information can be found at SCUDEM 2018 (www.simiode.org/scudem/2018), including a list of local sites for the competition. The number of sites is increasing all the time.
Teams will work at their home institution, developing approaches and solutions to one of three posed modeling scenarios. They will prepare an Executive Summary and a 10 minute Presentation. Scenarios are designed so that every team may experience success in modeling, enhance their model building skills, and increase their confidence in modeling with differential equations.
On Competition Saturday, teams will travel with their faculty coach to a nearby host site. In the morning teams will work on a small addition to their modeling scenario for inclusion in their final submissions.
Faculty will participate in faculty development to help them use modeling in their coursework.
At morning registration, teams will turn in a final version of their Executive Summary which will be judged by coaches present. In the afternoon, each team will present their 10 minute Presentation, scored by an audience of coaches, faculty, and participating students.
After lunch there will be a MathBowl for students. The competition culminates in an awards ceremony closing the day by 4:30 PM to allow time for travel.
There is a modest registration fee (US $200) for team participation and faculty development workshop for faculty coach. Additional faculty may join workshop and judging activities at no cost.
Registration will open on 1 February 2018, but schools should be planning their coaches and teams now.
SIMIODE – Systemic Initiative for Modeling investigations and Opportunities with Differential Equations is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit organization. All can join SIMIODE where ALL IS FREE at www.simiode.org.
If your school is interested in becoming a local SCUDEM 2018 host site please contact the Director at Director@simiode.org .
