Funded by FIPSE and NSF, the Villanova Project is a collaboration between math and business faculty to connect the topics in the course to each other and to students' other courses, careers, and personal lives.  The problem-driven course has been designed to emphasize conceptual understanding.  It focuses on solving real-world problems using single variable and multivariable math models, calculus, and technology.  All aspects of the course can be integrated using semester-long projects on topics from students' own lives.  

Workshop participants will acquire technological, pedagogical, and organizational skills needed to teach this course effectively.
