IRE Improvements

This past week, we have been writing a few rough draft documents on how IRE can improve for next year. At the end of the year, each student was to write an assessment on what IRE could do better to make the program run more smoothly and excel. We have been compiling these documents and coming to a consensus on everything that should be taken into consideration for the next year. These ideas range from more organization of the books in our library to strengthening relationships with the ICC students as well as the Mankato students. We are also looking into how we can use our time more wisely so more learning can take place. Whether the increased learning comes through reinstating the teaching-learning, have more learning conversations, or a better understanding of the project time vs. learning time will be decided. Another concern most students had was the lack of space, and wanting more time available to be spent outside the same four walls every day, all day. This concern has already been taken into account. Next year we will be on the opposite side of campus with three times the amount of space as well as a clean lab to work in, and hopefully a dirty lab as well. Improving IRE is a very important part to make this program more appealing to students as well as excel within the education system.
