Students will design and construct models as a means of building understanding of a variety of biological, physical, social and environmental phenomena. Models developed will cover topics ranging from physiology to community dynamics to large-scale flows of material and energy. These examples will provide students with systems-thinking skills and a library of analogies that can be broadly applied to problems in the natural and social sciences. Credit can be counted towards either biology or environmental studies majors. Enrollment Limit: 16 Instructor: J. Petersen Consent of the Instructor Required?
