Leveraging Strategic Partnerships to Build a Robust Learning Ecosystem

TAMU's College of Engineering embraced the goal of transforming engineering education as part of its 25/25 initiative. This initiative focused on enhancing the learning experience by migrating courses to an active learning methodology. While planning, a key challenge was finding innovative furniture and software solutions that optimized the desired experience. Leveraging strategic partnerships, like Steelcase Education, was key to this successful large-scale transformative project.

These partnerships led to the codesign of integrated furniture and software solutions.
