Experiential learning is important because students grow not only in their intellectual capacity but also personally, professionally, and civically. They have a greater capacity for empathy and compassion in the way they see themselves and the world.

Spring semester 2022
NMC’s Motor Sports Club "Gearheads" notched its best finish ever in the Blizzard Baja endurance race at Michigan Tech Saturday, overcoming a breakdown and single-digit temperatures to beat a host of engineering teams from four-year universities.
“The race is designed to destroy the car,” said Automotive Technology instructor Wayne Moody. “We fix our car and put it back on the road.” He added the race epitomizes experiential learning.
NMC was the only community college, only one-car team and only automotive program to compete.
