Engaging Students and Faculty in Creating a Center of Community and Hands-on Learning

Presenter(s): Karen M. Dettinger, Affiliated Engineers, Inc.; Frank Fronczak, University of Wisconsin, Madison
Convener: Couper Gardiner, BHDP Architecture

The University of Wisconsin-Madison's College of Engineering engaged K-12 students, university students, and faculty across disciplines to talk about curricular and extracurricular learning needs and how a new facility could meet them. They also addressed the needs of interdisciplinary research centers. Learn about the planning process, the creativity it encouraged, and the challenges that developed. Two student-centered initiatives that were integrated with the planning process will be discussed.
This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-sixth annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–36, in Boston, MA (USA), in July of 2001.

Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–36 sessions are available for purchase here.

Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP-36, our digital archives of SCUP-36 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well.
