"All disciplines need to find ways to integrate theory-based or data-driven technologies into the curriculum to help students be prepared for the workforce. Understanding how to bring that kind of thinking into existing curricula, however, is quite hard to do in practice. This book by Dr. Alejandra Magana helps solve that problem by translating strong evidence-based instructional design principles for STEM faculty via guidance and examples that can be integrated into existing courses. It is a practical, realistic, accessible approach to curriculum change that can help faculty teaching K-12 all the way up through undergraduate capstone contexts integrate computation, modeling, and simulation practices into their courses." -- David Knight , Associate Professor of Engineering Education, Virginia Tech University.
