COLLABORATIVE EDUCATION
When West Chester University embarked on its most technologically advanced building to date, it was with collaboration in mind and making every interaction count. The new Sciences and Engineering Center and Commons building brings nursing, nutrition and health sciences students together with science and engineering students to create natural overlaps in their learning environment. In a recent example, the nursing department sent a malfunctioning IV pump to the biomedical engineering students for repair. Hands-on opportunities give students the skills employers are looking for and the language to communicate across disciplines. At WCU, students are forging meaningful connections through collaborative education.
