The case study placement program is similar to a capstone project and uses problem-based learning to develop research-based solutions to real world issues. Students apply using an in-depth application form that asks about their goals and interests and they will be assigned to work in small sector groups (usually 3 to 5 students) assigned based on their interests. Their main deliverable will be to develop a research proposal that addresses or is connected to an issue in their field related to an overall yearly theme. The 2022-2023 theme is: ethics, equity, and accessibility. Students work both independently and collaboratively to design, develop, and present their formal research proposal that relates their sector to the theme.  Students have the freedom to come up with their research topic and proposal and incorporate their interests and future career plans. Our case study program has the benefit of being able to meet the goals and pathways of students. Whether they are university, college, apprenticeship, or workplace bound, these students will have the opportunity to work in their field/sector of interest while still learning and collaborating with other teams in different fields and pathways to help them gain perspective from other areas and experience in interdisciplinary work and learning.  Sector groups are assigned based on the students’ applications, interests, and career plans. Sector groups are variable depending on student interest each term, but past topics we have offered are: biology, health, public health, psychology, business, technology, design, culture/society, education, environment, sociology, and law.
