The Institute for Engaged Learning at IUPUI intends to partner with a state-wide organization to provide engaged learning opportunities embedded in experiential project-based learning classes. 

Dean of IEL, Dr. Jerry Daday, asked a question that directed the research conducted:

“How do we get students and faculty on board?”

Using a range of research methods, the group sought to answer this question. 

The group’s local study began with surveying 25 IUPUI students and 23 IUPUI faculty via an online surveying tool. An interview was conducted via messenger with a recent IUPUI Computer Information and Technology graduate to glean information regarding the digital aspect of our recommendation. 

The report coordinates IUPUI library databases, Google Scholar, and printed materials with local study survey and interview data to better inform recommendations. Utilizing knowledge gleaned from expert and local data, our team gains a larger perspective on the topics presented.
