Structure for development, planning, and implementation of a culminating project for
the Iowa Sciences Academy; students dedicate three to five hours per week to the project and are
encouraged to connect their projects to community issues or problem; integration of external
learning experiences and activities including interviews, scientific observations, or internships.
Course Listing

Professional and career development; tours of scientific research facilities and
laboratories on campus; network with professors and graduate students; explore different types of
research environments on campus; learn how to identify and contact potential research mentors.
Course Listing

Scientific teaching principles (e.g., backwards design, active learning, formative
assessment); students develop a teaching unit based on some aspect of their research and teach it
to the class in preparation for future interviews where the ability to explain the background and
significance for their research is a highly valued skill. Requirements: minimum of 60 s.h.
earned, junior or senior standing, and undergraduate research experience.
Course Listing

Topics in mathematical biology; canonical mathematical modeling and analysis of
problems in the biological sciences (data analysis and introduction to machine learning).
Course Listing

Algebraic techniques, equations and inequalities, functions and graphs, exponential
and logarithmic functions, systems of equations and inequalities.
Course Listing

Algebraic techniques and modeling; quantitative methods for treating problems that
arise in management and economic sciences; topics include algebra techniques, functions and
functional models, exponential and logarithmic functions and models, and a thorough introduction
to differential calculus; examples and applications from management, economic sciences, and
related areas; for students planning to major in business.
