Across disciplines and in every school and college, students are taking part in exciting community-engaged work, and helping build stronger communities in Vermont and beyond. Each year between 80-100 community-engaged learning courses are offered at UVM. They can be identified by the "SL" or "CL" in the course title and in the online schedule of courses. These courses create meaningful partnerships between students, community partners, and faculty to provide students with hands-on learning in real-world situations.

Community-Engaged Learning: Highlights

  • Senior designs for Civil and Environmental Engineering

    CE 185 & 186: Senior Design Capstone

    In this two-semester Civil & Environmental Engineering capstone, students use what they have learned throughout their four years at UVM and apply it in a real-world setting. Students are required to submit specific dimensions, costs, and materials as they would in a professional job. Engineering majors have participated in a huge variety of projects from designing traffic roundabouts, to planning landslide and historic structure remediation, to creating stormwater management systems, all of which have benefitted local community partners.
