HCC Faculty receive MnSCU grant to advance science, technology, engineering and math teaching and learning
Congratulations to HCC's Amy Riipinen and Bob Zbikowski, who were awarded $4,457 for their Math/Engineering Initiative project. This project, in which Amy and Bob will lead a team of mathematics and engineering faculty in developing a curriculum, will allow calculus students to apply real-world physics concepts and utilize applied-learning rather than the traditional lecture method. The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system office awarded the grant to advance faculty-led teaching and learning initiatives in science, technology, engineering and mathematics courses, known also as STEM courses. “This winning project represents exciting and promising approaches to increasing enrollments in STEM courses, improving student learning outcomes, and graduating more and better-prepared STEM teachers for Minnesota's schools,” said Linda Baer, senior vice chancellor for academic and student services.
As part of its Strategic Planning efforts, Hibbing Community College has developed a new mission statement. The college’s mission statement is critical in setting the direction of the college’s collective efforts.
