Abstract
As described by Pennington et al. (this volume) model-based reasoning with the EMBeRS Framework can be used in a range of settings. This chapter describes two applications from a core second-year undergraduate sustainability science course to a culminating senior sustainability science practicum experience. This approach creates opportunities to blend iterative and sequenced individual and group work, generate boundary negotiating objects, and create a shared vision for group projects.
