APPLIED LEARNING FUNDING PROPOSAL
Applied learning is defined as an educational approach whereby students learn by engaging in direct application of skills,
theories and models. Students apply knowledge and skills gained from traditional classroom learning to hands-on and/or
real-world settings, creative projects or independent or directed research, and in turn apply what is gained from the
applied experience to academic learning. The applied learning activity can occur outside of the traditional classroom
experience and/or be embedded as part of a course. https://www.suny.edu/applied-learning/
