ABSTRACT

The paper discusses a series of Maple projects which relate to a cascade of Brine Tanks. The projects are 'structured' in the sense that they are in the form of Maple worksheets that contain discussions, commands, animations, etc., along with a number of questions to be answered by students. Assumed student knowledge of Maple is minimized in these projects.
