This presentation is a roadmap with a one-mode transition and subsequent application of selected higher education classroom materials to field research for learning, which has been a challenge for college faculty members for ages. The essential components of such a process are delineated, using the field experience gained by the authors with catastrophic events, covering the 2010 Haitian Earthquake, 2014-2015 Ebola Outbreak in West Africa, and the 2021-2022 Corona Virus (SARS-CoV-2) Pandemic in Illinois. Priority is given to bridging learning gaps. The prime takeaway for college faculties is reinventing rewarding student R&D field projects. An added benefit is the capacity to create new, unique, or novel case studies to promote expanded and challenging student learning experiences. Such R&D case studies have market potential.
