Learn Through Discovery
The Learn Through Discovery (LTD) Initiative at Cal Poly Pomona ensures every CPP student obtains at least one Signature Polytechnic Experience (PolyX) and can articulate it.
Participate in PolyX
Signature polytechnic experiences (PolyX) at Cal Poly Pomona promote students’ discovery of the opportunities and challenges within the field and the development of creative and innovative solutions to those conditions. Through collaborative learning and intense mentoring, PolyX engages students beyond the classroom and prepares them for professional and civic success.
