"The experiences that
earned me the active learning award have helped me discover and nurture
my strengths and have unknowingly shaped my career path after college.
Serving as a student government representative opened up a lot of
opportunities in working with different people across campus that I
believe made a huge difference in my experiences and ultimately helped
me receive the job offer I got from Lockheed Martin."
— Jenny Yang, ChemEngr

“All these experiences
will stay in my memory forever as they were truly remarkable. The
independent study showed me just how much I enjoy electronics. The
experience led to many more electronic endeavors, like my first job.
Tutoring helped me learn to manage my time, and my internship at Kiewit
introduced me to the professional world in an enormous way.”
— David Tovani,
MechEngr '08
Active Learning Award
Graduating Students Can Earn Active Learning Awards
CU engineering
students who enhance their education through a range of active learning
experiences
will now earn an award for it at graduation. The Active Learning Award
recognizes participation in three different kinds of
hands-on learning: discovery,
service, and
professional learning. Students who participate in all three areas
will receive an active learning
medal at graduation.
The award was created in 2004, to support the
college’s strong belief that active learning enriches a student’s
education and better prepares them to excel in the world through
leadership and service.

To earn an Active Learning Award, you must have participated in each
of the three types of active learning (discovery, service, and
professional) and you must submit an application by the posted deadline.
Once you believe that you have met the qualifications for an Active
Learning Award, there are two options for submitting an application
:
1. Print out the
Active
Learning Award application, complete it, and turn it into the Dean's Office before
the deadline.
2. Fill out the
on-line
application
before the deadline. We recommend that you print out a copy
for your records.
Please do not submit an application before you have participated in
each of the three required types of active learning.
Petition Process for Alternate Credit
If you have had an active learning experience (not
specifically listed on the application) that you believe should
qualify for credit towards discovery, service, or professional learning,
please complete a written petition and attach documentation that will
support your claim.
We look forward to reviewing your application!
