The NIACC faculty have created a new and interesting learning opportunity for students. A “Learning Community” is a related pair of courses that students can take during the same semester to enrich their learning experience. For example, in a recent semester, students enrolled in Engineering Problems had an opportunity to take a Composition course where they could write about engineering topics.
