Abstract

The Bachelor curriculum of Applied Mathematics in Eindhoven includes a series of modelling projects where pairs of students solve mathematical problems posed in non-mathematical language. Communication skills training is integrated with this track. Recently a new course has been added. The students build a portfolio during the track and in the new course they reflect on their former modelling activities, especially from a mathematical and a social perspective. Essay writing on these subjects is followed by peer assessment and peer feedback.
