Experiential Learning is an essential aspect of Missouri S&T’s unique learning experience, which is learning stimulated by a variety of structured activities that differ significantly from the traditional lecture format. Experiential learning activities are designed to require students to go beyond mastering basic skills and knowledge in the practical application of that material, and allow students to learn in environments that align with their aptitudes.
