The National Consortium for Synergistic Undergraduate Mathematics via Multi-institutional Interdisciplinary Teaching Partnerships (SUMMIT-P) has been working since 2016 to revise and improve the lower division undergraduate mathematics curriculum. The key element of these innovations is interdisciplinary partnerships, with partner disciplines directly involved in decisions about curricular needs. Collectively, the consortium has impacted over 60,000 undergraduate students and 250 college faculty from a wide array of disciplines (www.summit-p.com).
A webinar series is being conducted this Spring to share some of the numerous interdisciplinary classroom activities developed by SUMMIT-P institutions (submitted as an MAA Notes volume, Synergistic Undergraduate Mathematics via Multi-Institutional Teaching Partnerships: Resources from SUMMIT-P for Building Interdisciplinary Collaboration). Sponsored by MAA’s committee on Curriculum Renewal Across the First Two Years (CRAFTY), this series will include four 90-minute webinars that will provide rich discussions and hands-on experiences with the SUMMIT-P classroom activities. Participants also will be invited to become members in the SUMMIT-P consortium, which will provide additional support and activities for using SUMMIT-P classroom modules as well as implementation of proven methods of engagement with partner discipline departments. The SUMMIT-P/CRAFTY Webinar Series will kick off on Tuesday, February 1. See below for information about each of the workshops. Zoom log-in details are included below:

Estimating solar energy based on data: An application of the Riemann sum
Humboldt State University, February 1, 2022 at 3:00-4:30pm ET
An Excel-based calculus activity and related student project will be shared that illustrate an application of the Riemann sum using solar radiation data. In addition to linking the mathematical content to an engineering application, the project emphasizes the impact of solar energy on a local Native community—leading to student reflections on their own energy use.

Business Calculus: Finding the input to give a desired output using Goal Seek
Saint Louis University, March 1, 2022 at 3:00-4:30pm ET
To put problems in context requires a “what-if” analysis to find the y that is produced by a given x. Mechanical aids, like Goal Seek in Excel, allow students to address these questions for problems beyond their algebraic skill level. In this webinar, problems with parameters as well as processes that do not simply reduce to a simple formula will be investigated.

Graphical analysis in biomedical engineering: ECGs
Norfolk State University, March 24, 2022 at 3:00–4:30 pm ET
A biomedical engineering application, to be used in calculus courses, will be shared to emphasize the utility of graphical analysis methods. Electrocardiography is a non-invasive and non-medicated procedure of recording heart signals that produces electrocardiograms (ECG). These ECGs are used by medical personnel to conduct preliminary analyses of heart activity. The use of calculus in analyzing ECGs will be emphasized.

Producing interdisciplinary course materials using faculty learning communities inspired by SUMMIT-P
Ferris State University, April 5, 2022 at 3:00-4:30pm ET
Through the SUMMIT-P webinar series, examples of products from the SUMMIT-P consortium have been shared. Now it’s time for faculty at each participating institution to collaboratively create new activities. SUMMIT-P institutions have had success using faculty learning communities (FLC), a collaborative professional development structure that emphasizes faculty teams learning together as they work toward a pedagogical goal. This webinar will illustrate how Ferris State University’s SUMMIT-P team built and facilitated a FLC to strengthen and expand their collaborative work.

Abstract: Even well-crafted plans and activities may fail to engage undergraduates who enter the classroom with little or no motivation to understand the mathematical concepts set before them. What can instructors do to address this? This interactive panel brings together experienced mathematics faculty to offer insights and advice for engaging under-motivated students in the context of lower-division mathematics courses. Scenarios and strategies will be discussed, and questions will be welcome.

Abstract: CATCH Math$^2$ is a project funded by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. High school teachers gain insight into mathematical content and career-related skills in Statistics and Functions domains. The project involved a summer workshop where real-world problems, the use of manipulatives and hands-on science experiments enable the teachers, and hence their students, to realize the relevance of mathematics and become aware of career options for mathematics graduates. In this presentation we give an overview of the ideas of the project and share the results of the evaluation instruments used in assessing the project.
