Student-Centric Learning (SCL) has been recognized as an effective methodology to engage and motivate students for some time now. Research conducted by National Training Laboratory and other leading universities have identified several benefits of SCL including deeper learning, motivation, teamwork, etc. With the advent of high-speed internet technology, availability of large data bases brimming with information and the rapid growth of online course offerings, SCL has been taken to another new higher level, thus empowering students like never before. Different types of SCL techniques have been successfully implemented in MS Sustainability Management, MS Engineering Management and MS Environmental Engineering programs. Graduate level applied engineering programs are offered through onsite live classes and online classes. The specific SCL techniques used include: - Knowledge-centric SCL promoting development of critical thinking by applying learned outcomes to real world problem-solving - Learner-centric SCL promoting students to be more creative and use of prior knowledge - Assessment-centric SCL promoting opportunities for feedback and improvement - Community-centric SCL promoting interactions among the learners for sustained learning This paper presents specific examples of the advanced SCL techniques/exercises used in different online or onsite courses, along with associated assessments. Charts with students' feedback on the SCL practices will also be presented. Students' feedback on their learning experiences through SCL has been positive. The paper will also discuss the future of SCL, the opportunities it provides for student empowerment and the rapid change from passive to active learning with technology as a key enabler.
