Professional Learning Institute
Support from Industry
"Creating people with excellent critical thinking skills requires a broad based understanding of how the world works. The PLI curriculum offers a tremendous teaching opportunity to students that help them not only be better engineers, but also better people. Colorado State University has always been proactive in creating a learning environment that adds value for both the student and industry. PLI is a huge advance in the pursuit for continuous improvement"
Mike Applegate, CEO Applegate Consulting
"The PLI model is one of the most innovative curriculum models I have seen. It offers students chances to broaden and increase their skill set in ways that prepare them better for the 'real world' of Engineering. The program and you have done a fantastic job in both the tracks and in getting people from all facets of industry to come in and teach and listen. It's been my honor to be a part of this."
