Students and local industry partners will both benefit from the problem-based learning approach of the new Innovation Lab located in the Learning Commons. If you haven’t heard of this approach before don’t worry. In its basic form it is a method of teaching in which students learn about a subject through the experience of solving real-world problems.
Problem-based learning provides students a chance to work with local business leaders outside of the traditional classroom, placing their feet into the job world that awaits them after graduation. In collaboration with company representatives, semester-long microprojects can be created that will allow students to solve real life business problems while developing life skills such as teamwork and communication.
Microprojects are varied and designed to match each company’s needs. Development opportunities exist in fields such as social media, marketing, information technology, engineering, LEAN production, mathematics, and animation.
The NHTI Innovation Lab is truly a win-win:
- Local industry benefits from the free labor of bright young minds – win!
- Students benefit by building a résumé that includes real world experience – win!
