These opportunities allow students to apply theory to real-world situations and connect course material with experiences that occur through interactions with community and industry partners. Typically integrated into the classroom experience, students work together in groups to complete a project, scenario, situation, or problem presented by an industry partner.
Community and/or industry partners are often invited into the classroom to present pre-defined problems, questions, or issues to be explored and analyzed by students.
Reflection remains a key element in courses with community based projects. Students will be asked to link the project experience with their understanding of theory from the course and reflect on their learning.
