The Colloquy on Integrated Learning lays the foundation for technologically assisted quantitative and scientific thinking through a set of three courses. Using a project-based approach, students in Mathematical Modeling with Functions (COL 111) use computing to solve problems and complete meaningful tasks. In Mathematical Modeling with Data (COL 110), students build on these problem-solving skills in applied mathematics courses that develop students' capacity to use numerical reasoning in practical contexts. In Environmental Science (COL 260), students develop their ability to use scientific and quantitative principles to analyze the impact of human activity on the natural environment. Every ZU student acquires a basic competency in computing, effectively using application packages and the internet, as they study COL 270.
