Objectifs et capacités de apprenant.es

Students from the University of Windsor Faculty of Science will collaborate individually or in groups of 2-3 to use their scientific knowledge to generate realistic solutions to existing problems your non-profit or community organization may be facing. Through the use of critical thinking and creative problem-solving, students will demonstrate awareness of social issues and community needs, and identify the strengths and resources of a community that can be used to improve on these issues.

When approving a project, we make sure the students are doing work appropriate for a third-year level (i.e. meaningful, provide opportunities to learn and be actively involved) and will allow them to make connections between their placement experiences and other science courses they have taken. Students can only be signed in to the course (by Michelle Bondy) once they have an approved project. Students are available from the following programs:
