It emphasized the need for upperclass students to begiven a greater opportunity to develop skills in problem formulation, problem solving, andcontextual presentation of engineering topics. These changes are intended to better preparestudents for the environment that they will experience following graduation, whether that beprofessional practice, graduate studies, or other opportunities.One specific recommendation developed as part of this strategic plan was: “Design and build a new Learning Center to support innovative teaching and learning activities.”To foster and support the adoption of a student-centered learning environment, a major initiativewas the development of

Community college students, in particular,exhibit improved retention and graduation rates as a result of building a shared sense ofcommunity [3], [4]. With their commuting status and typically heavy part-time job workload,community college students don’t often socialize outside of class, which leads to isolation bothsocially and academically.
