One of the core missions of Michigan State University's new Department of Computational Mathematics, Science, and Engineering is to provide education in computational modeling and data science to MSU's undergraduate and graduate students. In this paper, we describe our creation of CMSE 201, Introduction to Computational Modeling and Data Analysis, which is intended to be a standalone course teaching students core concepts in data analysis, data visualization, and computational modeling. More broadly, we discuss the education-research-based rationale behind the flipped classroom instructional model that we have chosen to use in CMSE 201, which has also informed the design of other courses taught in the department. We also explain the course's design principles and implementation.
