The Applied Learning Experience (ALEX) program at The University of Tampa pairs multidisciplinary teams of UT students with local companies to solve real-world problems. Tampa Bay organizations provide problems or creative opportunities that may benefit from a multidisciplinary, inquiry-based approach. Teams of three to four students from different academic majors then collaborate to produce a deliverable for the organization within a 14-week timeframe. ALEX teams also benefit from supervision by a faculty committee composed of members with subject-area expertise. This session will the present logistics, the challenges, lessons learned, and initial outcomes of the program.
