    2020-Cline_Fasteen_Francis_Sullivan_Wendt-Vision_for_Projects_Across_Mathematics_Curriculum
    We consider the use of projects in math courses as a mechanism for promoting coding, communication, and interdisciplinary application of math skills. Final projects play an important role, but we also discuss several alternate types of projects.
