From Cornerstone to Capstone: The Future of the Engineering Student Experience

1. Challenge pre-existing assumptions about interdisciplinary learning and maker spaces within a shared learning environment.

2. Connect space planning and design with the need to increase inclusivity and diversity in academic programs.

3. Find opportunities for programs and pedagogies to share space and resources based on new planning paradigms.

4. Describe an informed planning process for creating hands-on learning spaces and maker spaces with stakeholders. 

Institutions strive to link academic initiatives to master planning goals for each campus building project. In order to confront the unique challenges of creating learning environments for engineering students, higher education planners must use innovative approaches. We'll take an in-depth look at the process for integrating learning experiences with cutting-edge 'skunkworks' capabilities as a means to create an inclusive, interdisciplinary engineering community and maker space. Join us to discover innovative planning and design strategies for combining key ingredients of maker spaces and active learning environments with project-based pedagogies for engineering programs.
